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 Gillies returns as Llew, seeking the true meaning behind a mysterious prophecy - the making of a true king and the revealing of a long awaited champion: Silver Hand.The ancient Celts admitted no spearation between this world and the Otherworld: the two were delicately interwoven, each dependent on the other. The Silver Hand crosses the thin places between this world and that, as Lewis Gillies seeks to learn the secret of the prophecy of The Silver Hand - and to save Albion before it is too late.

2.5/5This book was nowhere near as exciting as the first one. The first book had a weight to it and even though there were things I didn't quite understand, I still felt like important things were happening. This book didn't have that. Things would happen and I had no idea why or what they were for. It felt like I was supposed to have some previous knowledge, but I didn't, so a lot of things didn't make sense. I really had to force myself to finish this. Another thing I loved about the firstI got to page 242. I am still in a kind of bleak head space where I'm just not able to put the work into finishing a book I am not enjoying. This book is incredibly dated. It uses every old, tired, problematic trope in the book. I'll outline a few and then I'm calling it quits. Might go back to it someday when I have a brain again.Trope 1: that magical fix for disabilities trope. The narrator is blinded early on in the book, but he not only gets visions of the future, but he has an "inner eye"

So many times a sequel doesn't satisfy, but this one does. Lawhead's story is interesting and exciting, and extremely well-written. I'm learning a lot about ancient celtic culture, too. He's done his research well.Read more Stephen Lawhead book reviews at Fantasy literature.
If you loved the prose and detailed fantasy world of the first book in this series, be pleased to know this second book contains more of the same. Although the point-of-view character switches to the bard, Tegid, the story continues to be about Lewis/Llew, and the style continues to be about the same.In this book, Lewis has to deal with Prince Meldron, who has ascended to the thrown, with Simon/Slawn at his side.Quite a bit of violence on the part of the evil prince and his fellows, so not for
I finally finished this, and am SOOOO glad I did. <3 It was really, REALLY good. Very vivid landscapes, and amazing characters. I was mad at first because the main character from the first book, Lewis, ISN'T the main charrie here. Tegid is, and he's *mild spoilers* blind through most of the story. But it actually adds a different view on Lewis's personality, adding to his personality, and it's interesting going from the view of a blind man. And there are twists to his blindness.Simon was my
An epic continuation of one of my all time favorite fantasy stories.
