Screen Shot: Shadow Moon

Shadow Moon.
This claims to be "First in the Chronicles of the Shadow War". Although the blurb doesn't say so, it also follows on from the film WILLOW(which rated a 5 from me, so I probably wouldn't have bothered with the book if I'd realised. But on the other hand, it does have Chris Claremont as co-author...).

The story starts one year after the end of the film. Willow Ufgood is back on his farm, not yet reconciled to being a wizard. Sorsha renames him Thorn Drumheller, portent for what is to come [I presume -- it hadn't come by the time I gave up].
Ten years later, after a great cataclysm, Thorn has been wandering around looking at various remains. He gets to the last one, no different from the rest, has a few minor adventures, then goes off to see the Princess Elora Danan. Foul play is afoot, and he gets thrown in a dungeon.
