The High King by Lloyd Alexander
Taran Wanderer becomes Taran Warrior in this last of the Chronicles of Prydain. Taran and his companions go to try to reclaim the sword Dyrnwyn from the hands of Arwan Death-Lord before all of Prydain is destroyed. Taran and Prince Gwydion raise an army to march against Arawn and recover the sword even if they must go to the gates of Annuvin, a place of death. In this story, Taran fully becomes a man and shows what he is made of. Read this heroic tale to discover what becomes of Taran’s love for Eilonwy and whether or not good can truly triumph over evil.
