Dyrnwyn, the sword of great power, has fallen into the hands of Arawn, Death-Lord. Taran and Prince Gwydion raise an army and begin the epic march to re-capture the sword and destroy Arawn and his followers once and for all. After arriving at Mount Dragon, Arawn’s stronghold, they face the greatest danger yet, and Taran must make the most crucial decision of his life.

This book is one of my favorites. Being the last book, it was hard to realize that there wouldn’t be any more to read about my favorite characters, but, overall, it’s a great ending of a great series.
