The sequels were published 1973 to 1977, almost simultaneously in the U.K. publication by Jonathan Cape of Over Sea, Under Stone. Both magical and ordinary children are prominent throughout the series. The books depict a struggle between forces of good and evil called "The Light" and "The Dark", and draw upon Arthurian legends, Celtic mythology, Norse mythology and English folklore. The Dark Is Rising Sequence is used as an over-arching title in several omnibus, boxed-set, and coordinated editions but the title of The Dark is Rising is also used for the whole series. The first book in the series, Over Sea, Under Stone, was originally conceived as a stand-alone novel, and the sequence gets its name from the second novel in the series, The Dark Is Rising.
The Dark Is Rising Sequence is a series of five contemporary fantasy novels for older children and young adults that were written by the British author Susan Cooper and published from 1965 to 1977.
