Misery

Aaron has been tricked and kidnapped by the Power Pair, his ultimate enemy, Goril Primus, and Fenrir Lupus, as well as his girlfriend’s brother. And he has been imprisoned as part of a plan of Goril’s to break him and get rid of him for good — by physically beating and torturing him, possibly to death.

Aaron knows very well that escape is necessary if he wants to survive this ordeal, but every time he tries, Goril foils his plans. So he will have to hope someone finds him. Because Goril is not just torturing him physically. He’s using a new spell called the Curse of the Mind to torture him mentally. And this new method of torture could prove very deadly. . . .

NOTES:

• This book is narrated by Aaron, the Green Battler.
• Fenrir Lupus, Maurice’s ultimate enemy, will return after last being seen in Book 48! Goril Primus also returns after his previous appearance in the same book. William Kwarteng also returns to help his former bosses.
• Deyon, Maurice, Richard, Jay, Jon, Shauna, and Diahandra do not appear in this book. Aaron will be the only Battler to appear in this book. In fact, Aaron, Juliet, Fenrir, Goril, and William are the only five major characters to appear in this book. Original White Battler J.J. also appears in flashbacks.
• This book is named after the movie of the same name starring Kathy Bates, and it conforms to two major themes of the story — Aaron’s misery from what Goril puts him through, and his learning of Goril’s own misery from what Liam DiCapa had put him through. The movie was also one of the two inspirations for this book, the other being The Illusion, the thirty-third regular title of K.A. Applegate’s Animorphs series.
• Aaron uses his Magic Advance for the first time in this book.
• This is the most daring book ever attempted, as little no battling is featured until near the end of the book, the majority of the story takes place in one location, the abandoned animal shelter from Book 36, and the primary focus is on Aaron’s torture as he learns more about Goril’s past.
