Chapter 25 Summary: “Of the Enchantress and What Became of Raphael and Roland”

Once inside, David sees more skeletons and the corpse of a knight—evidence that others came before him and never made it out alive. The knight’s remains appear as though the blood was sucked out of them. Wondering if his mother could be hidden in the castle under the spell of the enchantress, David continues down a long hallway and comes to a room full of delicious looking food. Tempted by hunger, David almost takes a bite of turkey before realizing that the table is full of dead insects; the food must be poisoned. The next room in the castle looks exactly like his room at Rose’s house, and when he looks out the window, he sees Rose, his father, and Georgie dancing together outside. David hears the voice of his mother telling him they have all forgotten him. She tells David to come and find her, and they can all be a family again as they once were.

He follows a distant light and the sound of his mother’s voice to a room. There, he finds a woman lying on an altar. He also sees Roland, impaled on a thorn, and the body of Raphael lying beside him.
