<p>It''s not every day that your evil stepdad abandons you in the deep, dark forest of the Urwald. And it''s not every day that a wizard rescues you from the clutches of gnarly trolls. But for Jinx, this isn''t turning out to be a very normal sort of day... </p><p>The bubbling cauldrons and coloured potions of the wizard''s house are a world away from the life Jinx has left behind.

He seems to need something from Jinx - something dark. And Jinx begins to wonder: can he trust Simon... at all? </p>
