In the rugged mountains of medieval Germany, where robber barons rule from their dragon's houses and blood feuds stain the Rhine, young Otto is born into a life of violence he was never meant to lead. Raised in the quiet sanctity of St. Michaelsburg monastery, he grows up surrounded by peace and wisdom-until the day his father, the fierce Baron Conrad, returns to claim him. Thrust into the brutal reality of Drachenhausen, Otto must navigate a world of cold steel and bitter revenge.
Caught in the middle of a savage war between his father and the rival Baron Frederick, Otto faces a trial that would break a lesser spirit. Yet, even as he bears the mark of his ordeal in a hand of pure silver, his true strength remains his unyielding gentleness and his refusal to answer hatred with hate. Howard Pyle's masterpiece is a profound living story that explores the thin line between power and wisdom, proving that a silver hand is often worth more than a golden one.
Adorned with Pyle's own legendary, starkly beautiful illustrations, this edition captures the grit and the glory of the Middle Ages. It is a stirring testament to the power of a pure heart, inviting readers to discover a hero who triumphs not through the sword, but through the enduring light of his own character.
Otto of the Silver Hand is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle's legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
