But Edmund is missing. Earlier, when Lucy first re-entered Narnia on her own, Edmund followed her. He met the White Witch (who calls herself Queen Jadis of Charn) on her sledge. Jadis is beautiful, tall, and terrifyingly pale. She plies Edmund with his deepest desire: enchanted Turkish Delight. The candy is addictive and makes him crave more and more.

To the children’s horror, Aslan negotiates privately with the Witch. Afterwards, the Witch renounces her claim on Edmund’s life.
