  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;The Moon of Gomrath is the name of the one night of the year when the Old Magic is at its most powerful. Had Colin and Susan known this, they would have never obeyed the strange compulsion that drove them to light a fire on the Beacon. But now it is too late--the horsemen called the Wild Hunt are awake and on the ride, and no one is safe. Colin is captured, Susan falls under the sway of the hideous Brollachan, and all along Alderley Edge the forces of evil rally for the conflict to come. For there will be a battle, the likes of which cannot be imagined by mortals. The outcome--and all the hopes of the world--will depend on three unlikely champions: Susan, Colin, and their ally, the wizard Cadellin.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this book better than the first book, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen. Maybe that's because I've already had some of the world building from the first book and I know kind of what to expect, though. It was weird to me that it was a sequel, but it completely ignored the ending of the last book....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67059094">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this because of a referral by friends to the myths of Alderly Edge. From what I understand, Mr. Garner lives (or lived) near the area. <br/>I live to the north of Alderly Edge (Far north, in North Manchester) and used to visit it frequently, and it IS as eerie as the book suggests. But, it's...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72496705">more...</a>]]></body>
