Chapter Summaries

Jerry, Shirley, and the villagers captured a previously unknown shape-shifting Doppelganger, while magical incidents and social unrest continued to spread. In August, Ted detected a mysterious surge at Goblin Lake and used flashback to reveal a boy had been there shortly before it faded.
