Quick recap

Maura has gone into a cave looking for Artemus, Blue's biological father. Calla warns that there are three sleepers and one must not be woken. Colin Greenmantle becomes Aglionby's Latin teacher, and Adam and Ronan blackmail him into leaving town. Persephone dies during the search for Maura. The group finds Gwenllian, Glendower's daughter, in a cave on Jesse Dittley's land. Piper, Greenmantle's wife, kills Dittley to get into the cave. Blue and Ronan cross a magic lake and find Maura and Artemus, and everyone escapes as the cave collapses, trapping Piper inside. At the end, Piper wakes the third sleeper: a demon with the power to unmake things.
