In the second book of the Colin Series, Colin and The Circus of The Moon face a new host of enemies intent on ruling not only their world but the world of Faerie as well. With Zuhayer finally dead, a power vacume is created and Bevis, one of Zuhayer's followers, and Count Blandicus a Vampire, rush in to fill it. While both have different reasons, their methods to take power are equally ruthless. Colin is seperated from his father, his aunt, and the Circus of The Moon, who have to face Count Blandicus in Faerie. Colin, Rhea and Spike are left to deal with Bevis, but they are not alone. With Maestro, Grandma Li and The Hunters, they still face enormous odds, because Bevis is transforming everyone into servants, and has summonded a Pooka, a demon, to do his bidding. Colin discovers that at the heart of the matter, is a little black box hidden by his great grandfather in one of Rivertown's murals. Contained within the box is a power that will either destroy their world or heal it. The problem is that the only person can open the box, and that person is Colin, and Colin must open it.
