Auf den ersten Blick ist Four Keys eine friedliche Kleinstadt … Im Schatten von Four Keys lauert eine altbekannte Gefahr: eine Bestie, die vor Generationen überlistet und in eine Parallelwelt verbannt wurde. Als drei entstellte Leichen gefunden werden, ist klar, dass die Bestie einen Weg aus ihrem Gefängnis gefunden hat. Nun liegt alle Hoffnung auf vier Jugendlichen: Justin, Harper, Isaac und Violet. Jeder von ihnen hat eine übernatürliche Gabe, um die Gefahr abzuwenden. Die Voraussetzung dafür: Sie müssten zusammenarbeiten. Doch verdeckte Geheimnisse, unerwiderte Gefühle und Intrigen aus der Vergangenheit stehen ihnen dabei im Weg …

In Four Keys kämpfen vier Teenager mit übernatürlichen Fähigkeiten gegen dunkle Geheimnisse und Bedrohungen. Nachdem sie eine Bestie aus der Parallelwelt aufgehalten haben, kehrt Isaacs Bruder Gabriel zurück und stellt ihre Freundschaft auf die Probe. Nur die Nachkommen der Gründerfamilien können die Gefahren abwenden.

The winner awards their family exclusive control over the city's high magick supply, the most powerful resource in the world. In the past, the villainous Lowes have won nearly every tournament, and their champion is prepared to continue his family's reign. But this year, thanks to the influence of their newfound notoriety, each of the champions has a means to win. Or better yet--a chance to rewrite their story. But this is a story that must be penned in blood.
