The High King by Lloyd Alexander
Death Lord Arawn has stolen the black sword, Drynwyn, the most powerful weapon in the kingdom. At the request of Prince Gwydion, Taran rallies friends, old and new, to raise an army to march against Arawn's terrible warriors. Together, they must battle through a frozen wasteland to Mount Dragon. This is a climax of "The Chronicles of Prydain".
