Publisher's Synopsis
Having escaped the Dark Prince Avarat's forces on Earth, Joe explodes from the Majia Gate into the beautiful but deadly realm of Antigol. Seperated from his best friend Reece, the strange muttering madman Shambling Sam, and worse still, the jaw-dropping warrior child, Kinga, his sworn protector, Joe stumbles, lost and alone, through a bewildering, exotic world. Soon he is fighting for his life against tentacled, man-eating plants, and savage demonic hounds, before being rescued by Antigol's most powerful witch, the Ice Queen. Beautiful and silken voiced, she quickly ushers Joe to the safety of her towering Ice Palace, offering him shelter and a feast of mouth watering food, keen to prove that Antigol can also be a place of kindness and beauty. But there is something wrong... Why does the Queen's smile never reach her eyes ? Why do her servants quake whenever she is near ? And why is she so interested in the birthmark on the back of Joe's hand ?
