Taran settled back into life at Caer Dallben only to leave again on a journey to steal the black cauldron from Arawn, death-lord. Everything goes as planned, until they realize that someone has beaten them to the job- and the black cauldron is gone. The only hope left is to abandon searching for the remainderr of their group and go searching in the Marshes of Morva for the creators of the cauldron, the only ones able to accomplish such a feat. But regaining the cauldron is going to be harder than Taran thought, as it requires sacrifices, to acquire, and the ultimate sacrifice to destroy it..... Alexander Lloyd had me rooting for the characters the whole time, rejoicing and grieving with them all through.
