"When presented with one more task from Merlin, Jim Lake, Jr., isn't too worried. How bad could bathing in a magical elixir be? It almost sounds soothing. Hopefully he'll be able to relax and get away from it all. Oddly enough, it does transport him, just not in the way he imagined. Suddenly Jim finds himself in the cold, dark woods and he's not alone. The recently resurrected Angor Rot is there with a score to settle.
