In the final book of The Serpent's Egg trilogy, the Demon's servants awaken a terrible evil in another world.

Miranda uncovers a fiendish plot to destroy the Elves and sever the spells that seal the Demon's netherworld prison.

The Twisted Blade published by HarperCollins Canada

When Nicholas falls into the clutches of the Dwarf-snake and a band of vicious ogres, Miranda and her companions embark on a perilous quest to rescue him, and find the twisted blade, the only thing that will stop the King of the Dead.

Blocking them at every turn are hosts of bad, bad enemies intent on possessing Miranda's bloodstones and unleashing their awesome powers to destroy the forces of good. From the tunnels under Parliament Hill to Taboo, a sealed chamber in the Red Mountains of another world, the Twisted Blade is a hair-raising journey into the unknown, among old friends and new, fabulous monsters, and really wicked beings. It is also a journey of self-discovery where courageous kids stand unbending against evil.
