Keys to the Demon Prison

Kendra, Seth and the Knights of the Dawn race to protect the keys to Zzyzx. At Obsidian Waste in Australia they get the Translocator, but the Society captures Seth. Held at Living Mirage, he meets Bracken, a unicorn in human form. Kendra is captured too. Seth escapes with the Translocator and heals the demon Graulas, who betrays him, kills Coulter and takes over the Society. Following clues Patton left behind, Seth wins the sword Vasilis. The Society manages to open Zzyzx. On Shoreless Isle, Seth kills Nagi Luna and Graulas with the sword, and Kendra kills the Demon King. The Fairy Queen seals away the remaining demons and makes Zzyzx her new home. The families move to Fablehaven, and Kendra and Bracken start thinking about a future together.
