But war requires a sacrifice greater than he\'d ever imagined.
For Taran, it is the glorious opportunity to use his first sword in battle.
For each of them, the quest has a special meaning.
Taran the Assistant Pig-Keeper and his loyal companions must journey deep into Arawn\'s domain to destroy the Black Cauldron.
Arawn, Lord of the Land of Death, has been building an army of dark warriors to take over Prydain, and the only way to stop him is to destroy the Black Cauldron he uses to create his dreaded soldiers.
In the land of Prydain, evil is never far away.
