Taran and the rest of the group join up with Prince Gwydion and a slew of other warriors in an attempt to steal the black cauldron, the device capable of making an army of undead, from the kingdom of Arawn. The group gets separated and they find out that the cauldron had already been stolen by three witches. Together Taran, Eilonwy, Fflewddur, Gurgi, and several others travel to the swamp in which they live with the intent of bargaining for the cauldron.
The second book in this series is really written much better than the first and has a great flow and great story. I'm really starting to love the characters and the plot is really moving along much better.
