Shadow Moon

From two of the greatest imaginations of our time comes a magnificent novelof adventure and magic...SHADOW MOON: "First in the Chronicles of the ShadowWar."
The genius of Star Wars® creator George Lucas and the vision ofChris Claremont, the author of the phenomenally bestselling "The UncannyX-Men" adventures, merge in what must be the fantasy event of theyear.
In "Shadow Moon," war and chaos have gripped the land of Tir Asleen. Anancient prophecy reveals one hope: a savior princess who will ascend to thethrone when the time is right. But first, a Nelwyn wanderer must face forcesof unimaginable malevolence and dangerous, forbidden rites of necromancy thatcould bring back a powerful warrior from soulless sleep.
George Lucas reshaped filmmaking in the '70s and '80s with his "StarWars" and "Indiana Jones" films. When Bantam Books asked Lucas if hehad any stories he would like to develop as novels rather than as films, Lucasturned to his 1988 fantasy film, "Willow."
"When I wrote the story for "Willow," I began with the pre-story, " Lucassaid, "but the full story was yet to be told."
Now, Lucas's vision is being fulfilled with the talented help of ChrisClaremont. Having previously taken the reins of what was for a decade thebestselling comic in the western hemisphere ( "The Uncanny X-Men" )Claremont assumes the reponsibility of foster parent to Lucas's creation.
