Wilko, Keelin, and Vlad—together the Night Watch—are invited by the High Council. Where they expect tribute, a serious accusation awaits them. The Council’s president, Xantara, destroys their symbols and strips them of their powers. Without these symbols, they can no longer protect their village of Twilight Lake. They soon discover Xantara’s true plans: with the Crystal of Evil, she plans to destroy the human world. The Night Watch faces their greatest challenge yet: restore their powers and stop Xantara before it’s too late.
