Publisher Description

Book two in an epic historical fantasy series that blurs the lines between this world and the Otherworld.

“Before Albion is one, the hero feat must be performed and Silver Hand must reign.”

The great king, Meldryn Mawr, is dead, and his kingdom lies in ruins. Treachery and brutality rule the land, and Albion is the scene of an epic struggle for the throne.

Lewis is now known as Llew in this Otherworld, and he has become a threat to the usurper Meldron. Exiled and driven from the clan, he must seek the meaning behind a mysterious prophecy—the making of a true king and the revealing of a long-awaited champion: Silver Hand.

First published more than twenty years ago, The Song of Albion Trilogy has become a modern classic that continues to attract passionate new readers. Enter into The Silver Hand and experience the dazzling brilliance of a world like ours—yet infinitely bolder and brighter: a place of kings and warriors, bards and battles, feats of glory and honour. It is a place you will forever wish to be. It is Albion.

"I have read almost everything Lawhead has written and this is one of my top 5 favorite books, period. If you are familiar with his writing style, his triolgies and sequels almost always change narrators with each book so you come to expect it. And I feel with each of his trilogies...the first book is good, the second is excellent, and the third book is awful. Being a big Celtic fan myself I love the history that is brought into this series, but the story of the underdog hero is always a winner!"

    " Best book in the series. I think this book affected me emotionally more than any other fiction in a very long time! Takes a while to get in to the series but it's totally worth it! "

    " "The Silver Hand" is probably my favorite of the 'Song of Albion' trilogy. This book resides in the upper echelon of my all time favorites. I read it at least once a year. "

    " Rather slow. I didn't care for the change in narrater, because I thought Llew would be much more interesting than the bard, who never seemed to have any inner conflict or anything. This book is nothing special. And I still have the same issues with this as with the last one (People forgetting the world needs to be saved, and Simon) "

    " It was interesting that he switched narrators between the first and second books. Again, I didn't like the main characters as much as I usually would like to like the main characters, but I liked one of the friends of the protagonist. "

    " Lawhead does a great job of evoking anger and frustration throughout the book - kind of a stressful read until the very end, which although good, had potential to be better. "

    " Second in a trilogy...I'm really enjoying this set. I like the "doors between worlds" aspect, and the fusion of modern corruption and its influence on Celtic mythology. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Not quite finished with it yet, but the characters from the first book made me like this one right away. Author is interested in exploring the concept of sovreignty rather than trailblazing into new SciFi-land, which is nice. Still very Celtic. "

    " It's been years since I read this, but it's every bit as good as I remember. A cracking story and continuation of Lewis' time in the 'Otherworld'. Bubbling over with Celtic tradition, language and history this book is a magical adventure. "

    " After reading all 3 books in this trilogy, I've decided that they were a waste of my time. Based on how the last book ended, it makes the second book pointless. "
