In this Newbery Medal–winning finale to the series, the last and greatest quest of Taran and his companions begins when the sword Dyrnwyn, the most powerful weapon in the kingdom, falls into the hands of Arawn Death-Lord, threatening Prydain with annihilation. Taran and Prince Gwydion raise an army to march against Arawn's terrible cohorts, human and inhuman, and when they finally arrive in the portal of Annuvin, Arawn's stronghold, Taran finds he must make the most crucial decision of his life. Since The Book of Three was first published in 1964, Lloyd Alexander's gripping and witty magical tales have captured the imaginations of readers 9 and up, earning the Newbery Medal and Honor as well as nominations for the National Book and American Book Awards. Inspired by Welsh mythology, the Chronicles of Prydain recount the many adventures of Taran the Assistant Pig-keeper and his heroic friends in their quest to save the land of Prydain from darkest evil.
