About this ebook

From New York Times bestselling author Stephen R. Lawhead comes the first installment in the beloved Song of Albion Trilogy--an epic blend of myth, history, and adventure that transports readers beyond the boundaries of the modern world.

Lewis Gillies is an American graduate student in Oxford who should be getting on with his life. Yet for some reason, he finds himself speeding north with his roommate Simon on a lark--half-heartedly searching for a long-extinct creature allegedly spotted in a misty glen in Scotland. Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis accidentally crosses through a mystical gateway where two worlds meet: into the time-between-times, as the ancient Celts called it. And into the heart of a collision between good and evil that's been raging since long before Lewis was born.

Perfect for fans of Tolkien, The Paradise War launches the unforgettable Song of Albion Trilogy (and includes additional insights from the author in "Albion Forever!" along with a special interview). First published more than twenty years ago, The Song of Albion Trilogy has become a modern classic that continues to attract passionate new readers.
