Over Sea, Under Stone is the first book in The Dark is Rising series. The book starts with three children who are on holiday in Cornwall. While looking around the house they are staying in, the kids find an ancient map in the attic. The map seems special and the kids know it. The kids are right when it turns out the map is the key to finding a grail which is a strong source of power that can be used to fight the evil forces known as the Dark. The kids set off on search of it themselves which leads into a world of danger.

A standalone book by Cooper is called Ghost Hawk. The book tells the story of a friendship between a young Native American named Little Hawk and a colonial New England settler named John. The two boys are friends, but they see the relationship between the settlers and natives deteriorating around them which puts the both of them in grave danger.
