Meanwhile, the merciless ruler of the Fey realm, King Oberon, is rallying his magical armies for a final assault on Earth. It’s only a matter of time before the human world is completely destroyed by hobgoblins, ogres, and dragons.
Unless the Young Knights can use all their courage, skill, and cunning to stop Oberon before it’s too late
