Thine O Lord is the greatness and the power and the victory and the majesty, Indeed, every thing that is in the heavens and the earth; Both riches and honor come from thee. . . and it lies in thy hand to make great. Now therefore, our God we thank Thee, for all things come from Thee. I Chronicles 29:11- 14 REVIEWS: “…every bit as good as its prequel…Karen Hancock
is a great world builder who has created a fantasy series that is reminiscent
of the Arthurian mythos…a beautiful adult fairy tale…” ~Harriet
Klausner for Allscifi.com “Six months ago, I chose The Light of Eidon, book one in the Legends of the Guardian-King, as one of the best books of 2003. At the time of its release, I celebrated that “Christian fantasy is back.” Since then, we’ve seen many more Christian fantasy titles released… Now that its sequel has arrived, it does so on a much more crowded shelf. So how does it stack up with all the new competition? The Shadow Within is every bit as good as its predecessor, if not better. I devoured all 445 pages over the weekend and wished that there were more…” ~Tim Frankovich,
Christianfictionreview.com "Top Pick - 4 1/2 stars Hancock is in
high form with this newest installment of the Legends of the Guardian
King series. A breath-taking plot whisks readers from one
adventure to the next without sacrificing the depth of chartacterization and
human pathos that mark a truly great story." ~Romantic Times "I LIKE these characters. I relate to their
struggles. At times it could have been my own story they were telling. The
Shadow Within was just what I needed to help me find perspective in
the struggles I was facing. Thank you, Karen Hancock, for a great read and
for hitting the nail on the head with the LEGENDS OF THE GUARDIAN-KING and
reminding me Who holds my hopes, dreams, and failures in His hands." ~ChristianActivities.com
“Hancock skillfully weaves a story with monsters of mythical proportions, a hero full of doubts and faith, one princess fleeing from her past, another princess who stubbornly avoids princessly stereotypes, and friends with a loyalty we all dream of. The characters are difficult to leave behind when the last page is read. “This book will have readers flailing through chores like a light-stabbed kraggin and howling at family like a blood-thirsty morwhol to get back to its pages. The reading is exciting, the story engrossing, and the characters won't let you go. I look forward to finding a copy of the first book in the series while I await the third." ~Christian Book
Previews LETTERS: “From
start to finish, this book was phenomenal! I wasn’t sure what to expect after
Abramm’s first adventure, didn’t think it was possible to top the
action/experiences in Light of Eidon…but you sure did!” ~DanT., AZ “I absolutely loved The Shadow Within. I
absolutely enjoyed the “Humanness” of Abramm. The second tale was so intense,
heart stopping, and even humorous. I can’t wait for your next title…” ~Lynn J., HI “Great book…The Shadow Within is truly a masterpiece in fiction and fantasy.”
~Jacob N. “Thank you so much for your books. I read Arena
while on a missions trip in Brazil two years ago, and have since read it two
more times. My teenage children also have read it themselves at least two
times! Light of Eidon was great also, but I must confess I
absolutely feel “ministered to” by The Shadow Within and can’t
hardly wait for you to come out with your third book in the Legends of the
Guardian King. I finished the book a few days ago and still feel the Holy
Spirit using things from the book in my own life.” ~Katie D., MN “I have just finished reading book two of the Legends
of the Guardian King series. I absolutely loved it! The story was intriguing
and engrossing, and it’s been a long time since I’ve read anything that
well-written. Suffice to say I am now waiting eagerly for your thirdbook to
come out…” ~ Kalyn S. “I Just finished your second book in the “Legends
of the Guardian King” series. It is one of the best books I’ve ever read…I
want to let you know that you’ve written a very powerful and deeply spiritual
work in “The Shadow Within.”…Twice last week I almost stayed home from work
to finish Shadow. That gives you some idea how hard it was for me to put it
down. When I say it’s one of the best books I’ve ever read, I’m speaking
withint the context of a good liberal arts education and a broad variety in
what I’ve read …” ~David
S. “It took me about 4 days to finish The Light of Eidon, then I read The Shadow Within in 2 days! I just devoured them. I loved them so much! The story was rivieting. When The Shadow Within ended, I was pretty upset! It can’t be over yet! I can’t wait for the third book to be released. I finished the book just before bed last night, and my brain was so involved with the story that I dreamed about it. I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed these books. ~Stacy K.
