They opened the wrong attic door, and found themselves in Kirke's uncle's office, who is a magician. Uncle Andrew forced Polly to wear a yellow ring and immediately she disappeared. Then he force Digory to wear it too, if he wants to save his friend.

He discovered himself to be in a woods with lots of pool of water. He is reunited with Polly and they decided to take on a little adventures before returning to London.

Now, it is important for the readers to understand that, the yellow ring DOES NOT transport the person out of the world, instead, it transports them to the woods, which serves as a interchange for all worlds. While the green ring DOES NOT transport the person back to London either, it transport them back to the woods.

They arrived in the world of Charn, where everything is in ruined. Digory accidentally woke up the Queen, Jadis. Realizing her evil nature, the children tried to run, only to find that Jadis followed them back to London.

The children try to dispose her off to another world, only to find themselves in Narnia. Aslan the Lion brought life in Narnia, and hence thereof Jadis trying to conquer it.

The battle is on between Aslan and Jadis. But with Jadis consuming the Apple from the mountain, she became immortal and all powerful again. Can 2 kids defeat an immportal and powerful witch?
