The child traveled down the stream until it a nelwyn village. Two children “willows children” found her and brought her to Willow. Willow didn’t want anything to do with her and wanted to send her back down the stream but Willows wife “Kya” wouldn’t let him.The next day Willow and his children went to the carnival in town. Kya stave with the child. Willow was going to see if he could win a apprentice contest to become a apprentice to the High Aldwin. He messes up and and doesn’t make it then the a dethdog races through the village and attacks a cradle. Vonhkar kills it with the help of of his worriers. Then the town held a meeting to finger out why the dethdog attacked the cradle. Willow afraid that his wife was killed by the dethdog before it got to town he ran home to see if she was all right.

Befor they go the High Aldwin asks Willow why didn’t he think for him self at the carnival after willows magic show. All the apprentices that wanted to be the High Aldwins apprentice witch finger held all the power. Willow guessed wrong at the carnival but the High Aldwin asked him what was his first answer Willow told him his own which was correct. Then the High Aldwin sad that if he came back alive that he might become his apprentice next year.They traveled on there jurnayand one night Vonhkar told Willow of his quest for Tersline. He never found it but one night in winter when he was passing through the mountains he stopped in a cave. He nearly died there if some dwarves didn’t save him. They had a legend that a little warrior would rule them they thought it was him. Vonhkar declined the offer but they gave him a ring that had a design on it. They said that one day he would help some one that will bring peace to a crude land. That child had the same mark. That is why he wanted to go on this journey. When they got to the dikine crossroads they saw a man in a crows cage “Madmartigan”. They waited for some one else to ride by but the only thing that did was a army marching to battle. So he let Madmartigan out and gave the child to him.On his way back hawk with a brownie on its back yelling “i got the baby”. Willow chases after him then gets attacked by brownies and falls into a pit. He wakes up lying on his back with a brownie on his chest. A glittering lute tells him to let Willow go it is Chilendra. She tells him of her tale and of why this child is so important . She tells him he must go to the lake of Fin Razal and give her Chalandras wand then to go to Tersline. Willow asks why must go, She tells him it is because allora dannan likes him. they start there quest to the lack of fin razal and it starts to rain so they stop at a tavern to get milk for alora dannan. Willow gets kicked around and he falls through a wall and runs into madmartigan dressed as a woman. He slept with another mans wife and had to hide. Than shorsha and some nockmar solders came in wanting to inspect the babes. They ask Willow to show them the babes arm. Willow refuses and then shorsha notices that Madmartigan is not a woman that brings a man into a uproar sense he thought that Madmartigan was his wife’s cuisine. He tries to kill Madmartigan and gets Willow and him self out of there. They steal a wagon and run from the nockmar solders. They allude them and take off on foot Willow notices how good he would be to them and asks him to protect them on there trip. Then mad martigan tells him about his life. How he was a rich mans son, how he became a knight at a young age, and how he was banished sense he told a vision to his wife. They make it to the lake of fin razal madmartigan tells him that his job is done and takes off. Willow crosses the lake to a island. He lands on the island and sees a bunch of dead bodies. He sees a squeal and it talks to him. It is Fin Razal. He seems disappointed and takes her across. She tells him that he must turn her back into what she once was. He tells her that he is only a magician not a wizard. She gets all ticked off then the nockmar solders show with madmartigan. they take the baby Fin razal and Willow but they didn’t see the brownies. They argue with each other and then decide to save them. They are at a nockmar camp held captive. Willow and Madmartigan are in a cage and Fin Razal is in a basket hanging from the wagon.Shorsha has the baby with her in her tent. Willow is concokting a potation to change Fin Razal back. The brownies show up to release them it took them a while but they got there. The brownies try to pick the lock and madmartigan gets frustrated with them they take a pouch with fairy dust and hit him with it . It put him in love with the first woman he sees. Willow gets the potation ready and tries to change Fin Razal back to her original self. He messes up and turns her into a mocking bird instead. They get out and head to Shorshas tent to get Alora Dannan then escape. Madmartigan goes in and falls in love with Shorsha and she wakes up. He speaks poetry to her and Willow sneaks in and grabs the child. The guards walk in and Madmartigan takes a sword and cuts down the main support beam to knock the tent down. They race out of there and willow grabs a shield Madmartigan is fitting his way to Willow and gets on the sheld and escape.They make it to a town and hide in a secret hiding place in a barn where they find some solders the same ones that marched by at the crossroads but a lot smaller. The nockmar solders make it the town and talk to the elder. He tells them that there not their but they don’t believe him. Shorsha walks into the barn and steps on the hidden door she opens it and then says to torch the barn. Than Madmartigan walks out and grabs Shorsha. They sold her captive and get to there horses. They ride off and the solders that was hiding ambush the nockmar solders. They ride off with Shorsha captive with General kale following. They find a hidden save and ride through it, it seams to have been a old dwarven hold that was attacked by trolls. they get out the other side and Fin Razal is showing them the way to Tersline.They run into a giant wall made of thorns. Fin Razal tells Willow to destroy it with the wand at this Shorsha runs off she hears her solders behind and Madmartigan lets her go. Willow is chanting a charm to burn down the wall and succeeds. They ride to Tersline.They get to Tersline only to find out that the place is frozen by one of Bavmords spells. The nockmar solders are riding towards the castle so Madmartigan shuts the gates. He goes to see what he could use to find them off in the armoriey. He finds some weapons and the kings armor he tries it on and it fits. While the nockmar solders are nocking down the gate he sets boobie traps and Willow goes and rids the baby. They knock down the gate and charge in they get hit by crossbow arrows and rocks from catapults. While willow is hiding the baby he gets attacked by a troll. He uses the wand to protect himself and turns the troll into this odd form and kicks it off the bridge into the water below. Madmartigans traps run out and perpairs to attack the army. At this a giant two headed dragon appears behind him. The nockmar solders attack it instead of him, while Madmartigan is fitting Shorsha is watching him and notices that she had fallen in love with him. They kill off the dragon and Kale gets Alora Dannan they follow him to nackmar castle. Bavmorda turns there entire army into pigs except for Willow. Now is the time to change Fin Razal back they cant afraid any mastacks this time. He turns her back and gives her the wand. Fin Razal turns the entire camp back to normal. While this is happing Bavmorda is preparing the alter of sacfrice to destroy Alora Danan. The next morning the only thing left outside is Fin Razal and Willow with a drum. Kale sends out some solders to kill them and Madmartigans army ambushes them at the beet of the drum.

Bavmorda says that he cant make her disappear. Willow makes the child disappear and that shocks Bavmorda and she knocks over a potion she made to destroy Alora Dannan and kills herself.After Bavmorda died all of her spells that she had dun had resoveld. Tersline had returned to normal and so did the land. Willow said good bye to Alora Dannan, Madmartigan and his wife Shorsha, The two Brownies, And Fin Razal. Fin Razal gave Willow a book of magic then Willow went home. When he made it back he was a hero. When the High Aldwin told Willow that he could be his apprentice next year. Willow was already a better sorcery than the Grate Aldwin.I recommend this book to anyone who likes the movie willow or is a big fantasy nut.
