In a mythical land where magic is real…
Willow Ufgood leads a quiet life. He farms his land, he cares for his family, and he dreams of being a magician. But a tiny, laughing baby is about to turn Willow’s life upside down.
Her name is Elora Danan. Only a few months old, she has already escaped great danger before arriving in Willow’s backyard. And now an even more desperate journey is beginning for her.
Elora Danan was born to fulfill an ancient prophecy—to overthrow the evil sorceress Bavmorda and end her reign as Queen of Nockmaar. Now Bavmorda, her ruthless minions, and her vicious Death Dogs are searching frantically to find and destroy Elora first.
Willow must take Elora to safety. Along the way, he is joined by two mischievous brownies, a renegade warrior, and a good sorceress. Through fierce battles and narrow escapes, his perilous quest leads Willow toward a cataclysmic confrontation with the formidable Bavmorda, one that will test his courage—and his emerging magic powers—to the fullest.
