'I wish you a fair voyage to the Isle of Mona,' said Dallben the old enchanter. 'For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.' So, with this warning echoing in her ears, Eilonwy departed for her training as a proper princess. But because of her magical powers she was to confront much more than the ordeal of becoming a lady. Realising her peril, Taran sets out on a terrifying mission to rescue her.

Taran wanted to be a hero, and looking after a pig wasn't exactly heroic, even though Hen Wen was an oracular pig. But the day that Hen Wen vanished, Taran was led into an enchanting and perilous world. With his band of followers, he confronted the Horned King and his terrible Cauldron-Born. These were the forces of evil, and only Hen Wen knew the secret of keeping the kingdom of Prydain safe from them. But who would find her first?
