Symphony of Enchanted Lands II – The Dark Secret is the sixth studio album released by Rhapsody in 2004. Many have been confused by its title, as it's not a sequel to Symphony of Enchanted Lands but is the first chapter of a new saga, The Dark Secret Saga. Although not a sequel, the new saga is set in the same world as Symphony of Enchanted Lands, and thus it often alludes to occurrences from that album. It is a concept album dealing with the resurgence of the Seven Black Books of the Demon king Nekron.
Christopher Lee provides the spoken narration throughout this album. He is also a guest singer in the single version of the song "The Magic of the Wizard's Dream".
It is the last studio release of the band under the name Rhapsody. They changed their named to Rhapsody of Fire in 2006.
All lyrics written by Luca Turilli, all music composed by Turilli and Alex Staropoli.
