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.

It's not as good as I remember, but it's still entertaining. I'll be reading on.How many times are you going to ignore your bard's warnings?!?
Could not get enough of this book start to finish! In my review of the first book. I stated I got the first one done in less than 24 hours! Same with this one! Absolute must read if your a fantasy fan!

Great premise! A lot more suspenseful than the first book--especially towards the end. And I like that we get the bard's POV in this one--he's blind! The scene with Meldron was so well written--I thought he wasn't really going to hurt them, but he actually did--which was brilliant! [I swear I'm not a sadist, I just liked that it defied my expectations!]I didn't like the cop out with cutting Llew's hand off and then letting him have it back...same with blinding Tegid and then giving him his sight
A worthy successor to the first novel.In this instalment of the Albion trilogy we find the country in turmoil, Meldryn Mawr is dead and his son, Prince Meldron has stolen the kingship from Llew (Lewis).What entails is an epic battle to save the country from Meldron's evil dominion but only the ancient prophecy of a long awaited champion called the Silver hand can save them now.Absolutely brilliant, sweeping in its scope and masterful storytelling.
This second book of The Song of Albion series tells a complete story. There is at least one unfinished thread.This books tells a story of exile and strife. The usurper king Meldron abandons all honor and wrecks havoc on all of Albion. The story moves along nicely and reaches a strong climax. This book is narrated by the Bard, Tegid. There is much sorrow both for Albion and individuals. The loss of so many was too much for my enjoyment. Probably close to a 5 star effort but since enjoyment bears
