title: The Shadow Within (Legends of the Guardian-King, Book 2)
author:  Karen Hancock 
description: Hancock's <i>The Shadow Within</i> is the second entry in her Legends of the Guardian King series, following <i>The Light of Eidon</i>. The series is a heavily plotted medieval epic distinguished, as is all of Hancock's work, by intricate world building. The story opens with the epic slaying of a sea monster that is part <i>Beowulf</i>, part <i>Moby Dick</i>, but mostly <i>Star Trek</i>, since despite all the gore, there's little sense of menace. Nonetheless, young Abramm's heroism in killing the monster shows that God--or Eidon--is on his side and enables him to return to his home kingdom to claim the crown. His authority is unimpeachable, but plots abound; in fact, the bulk of the novel deals with the slithering intrigues that Hancock first showed a knack for in <i>Arena</i> (2002). <i>John Mort</i><br><i>Copyright &#169; American Library Association.
