From George Lucas, creator of Star Wars and Indiana Jones, and Chris Claremont, author of the bestselling X-Men adventures, comes the thrilling sequel to Shadow Moon, taking readers deeper into a stunningly original world of magic, myth, and legend. The momentous Ascension of Princess Elora Danan should have brought peace to the Thirteen Realms. Instead, an intense Shadow War rages, spearheaded by the evil Mohdri. He has dispatched his dread Black Rose commando assassins to capture Elora and her sworn protector, Thorn Drumheller. But Mohdri himself is just a facade for a more dangerous entity: the Deceiver. But who—or what—is the Deceiver? And how can Elora, Thorn, and their ragtag band defeat this unspeakable force? The answer lies in a perilous journey to a land undisturbed since the dawn of time. A journey that will end at the unbreachable citadel of the dragon, where a chilling betrayal will change the fate of Elora, Thorn, and the Thirteen Realms forever.

In una terra leggendaria dove la magia è realtà, la perfida Regina Bavmorda domina il suo regno dall’alto di un castello arroccato su una montagna invalicabile. Pur essendo difesa da un esercito di ferocissimi cani e giganteschi guerrieri, la Regina vive nell’incubo di una terribile minaccia. Ella teme infatti la nascita di una bambina con un segno sul braccio destinata, secondo un’antica profezia, a porre fine alla sua malvagia dominazione. Quando la bambina nasce, la levatrice, contravvenendo all’ordine regale di consegnarla perché venga uccisa, riesce a metterla in salvo affidandola a Willow, un contadino che sogna di diventare mago. Tocca a lui proteggere la piccola e lanciarsi in una fuga all’ultimo respiro che lo conduce nel misterioso mondo della magia e dell’incantesimo. Accompagnato da due folletti, un guerriero rinnegato e una maga dalle molte risorse, Willow attraversa una terra straziata dalla guerra, in un’odissea insieme tragica e fantastica che si conclude con un duello crudele e fatale.
