Just before he 'dies', Vlad hands Ingeras over to his old, trusted friend Gandalf, hoping he can keep his son safe. Gandalf takes the boy to Middle Earth but they become separated in the Mirkwood forest and Ingeras is left all alone. He does not know where he is or even whom he can trust! He is very scared. All he wants is to be back with Vlad. Can he survive? Will he find healing?
