Synopsis

The Endless Knot, the concluding volume of the Song of Albion trilogy, finds Llew Silver Hand established as Albion's true king, having replaced his lost hand with one of mystical silver. His hard-won reign is thrown into crisis when his queen is abducted and carried off to the Foul Land, a cursed region across the sea. Llew sets out to lead a rescue mission into this hostile territory, confronting an ancient curse tied to the Foul Land that threatens to undo everything he has built in Albion. The novel follows Llew and his companions as they venture into this dangerous realm, testing the kingship he fought to secure in the earlier volumes against a threat unlike any he has faced before.
