In the second book based on the Abadazad comic book series by J.M. DeMatteis and Mike Ploog, Kate Jameson has arrived in the fantastic realm of Abadazad itself, searching for her lost brother Matt -- and discovers that reading about its marvels and terrors is very different from facing them firsthand.

For one thing, her mission to save her brother will pit her against a formidable villain and his twisted minions. That is, if she can survive the magical hazards all around her first.
