Wenn Sie innerhalb von 48 Stunden herausfinden, warum ich diese Frau entführt habe, bleibt sie am Leben. Falls nicht – stirbt sie.« Mit dieser Botschaft beginnt das perverse Spiel eines Serienmörders. Er lässt seine Opfer verhungern, ertränkt sie in Tinte oder umhüllt sie bei lebendigem Leib mit Beton. Verzweifelt sucht die Münchner Kommissarin Sabine Nemez nach einer Erklärung, einem Motiv. Erst als sich der niederländische Profiler Maarten S. Sneijder in den Fall einschaltet, entdecken sie zumindest ein Muster: Ein altes Kinderbuch dient dem Täter als grausame Inspiration.

Mathilda’s surprise birthday party for Kyra is thrown into chaos when Lily insists on helping and her magic causes some surprising transformations. In the Library, a dangerous magical creature gets loose and Apinya insists that the only way to stop it is for Kyra to use her Orb Magic. This brings Kyra a vision containing a clue to the location of the third Temple key.

With Apinya’s true identity exposed, Maxwell and the two Keys are captured and taken to the Bangkok warehouse, where Kyra finally locates the Third Key using her Orb Magic. While the Bureau attempt to rescue Maxwell, Kyra, Imogen and Tayla retrieve the Third Key which magically transports Kyra to the Temple of the Purple Lotus where her Orb magic is drained and the Purple Lotus comes to life.

As the Purple Lotus begins to disrupt fairy and elf magic everywhere, the Bureau lose control of their magic, all except Kyra who is unaffected. Apinya pleads with Kyra to stop the Lotus by reclaiming her Orb Magic. When she refuses, Apinya plays her last card and reveals the truth about the disappearance of Kyra’s birth father.

When Kyra contracts a magical cold, her sneezing transports Mathilda into the Library where Kyra is forced to admit magic exists. When Mathilda tries to escape, Ruksy wipes her memory and Kyra has to pretend nothing happened. Imogen suspects Tayla is the magical graffiti artist and follows her to a secret studio where she warns Tayla about her reckless use of magic, but Tayla refuses to listen.

Kyra and the Bureau escape from Magnus Sorenson with the Purple Lotus plans, but they seem to offer no hope until Kyra has a vision of what she alone must do. As the Purple Lotus continues to drain elf and fairy magic, Kyra and the Bureau risk everything in a desperate attempt to destroy the Lotus. But with the existence of magic revealed to the whole world, things can never be the same.

Kyra’s attempt to reclaim her Orb Magic from the Purple Lotus fails and its true purpose is revealed – to drain magic from elves and fairies, leaving Trilings all-powerful. When the DMI’s plan to destroy the Lotus fails, Kyra and Bureau make a risky and desperate trip back in time in an attempt to steal the original plans for the Lotus from the Triling, Magnus Sorenson.

Professor Maxwell allows Tayla to attend magic school for a day, but when Tayla cracks a magical mirror, she creates a malevolent doppelganger bent on destroying the Bureau, so she won’t be sent back into the mirror. Peter manages to warn Kyra, who is looking after her sickly stepfather, and she races to the rescue. Watching the Bureau put things right begins a change in Tayla’s attitude.

Peter makes a video clip to promote Ben’s music but when it doesn’t succeed Lily, who still fancies Ben, casts a spell over the clip enchanting anyone who sees it. Suddenly everyone in River City, including the Bureau and Professor Maxwell, is singing and dancing to Ben’s music. Lily finds a way to lift the spell, but Ben decides he’s had enough of fame and quits the café.

Following clues in Magnus’ second journal, Kyra and the Bureau jump to Vietnam where Kyra uses Orb magic to reveal a Cobra Statue. The Third Temple Key is gone but the statue comes to life and chases them back to the Library where it smashes Ladder before cornering Kyra and giving her a vision. Maxwell warns Kyra to give up the quest but Kyra refuses – she has to know why this is happening to her.

An old journal written by early 20th century Temple-seeker Magnus Sorenson leads Kyra and Darra to Thailand. After overcoming magical obstacles, Kyra and Darra find another Cobra Statue which delivers the Second Key to Kyra. Though Imogen knows Tayla is the graffiti artist, she keeps it from the Bureau and visits Tayla at her home where she learns why Tayla has no love for the magical world.

The Bureau attempts to capture a bug whose bite causes the victim to tell the truth, but the bug bites Lily who is on her first date with Ben. Peter and Ruksy must pretend they are back together in order to prevent Lily from revealing that she is a fairy. Kyra is refused permission to testify at Maxwell’s hearing before the DMI. Maxwell is removed from teaching and Apinya is made permanent.

When Tayla loses a magical compact at school, Kyra’s friend Mathilda finds it and her wishes start coming true. Mathilda suspects the existence of magic so Kyra has to enlist the Bureau to convince her otherwise. With the café in danger of closing, Peter persuades his friend Ben to play guitar and sing. Ben is a hit and Lily gets a crush on him, but her attraction causes an embarrassing reaction.

When Imogen begins to suspect that Apinya is not who she claims to be, she and Lily set out to prove it and discover Apinya has a connection to the Bangkok warehouse where Darra and Kyra found the First Key. Kyra invites Darra to lunch so he can get to know her stepfather, and while looking at some old family photos, Kyra makes an astonishing discovery about her Triling heritage.

The Bureau has to overcome some tricky magical graffiti while Imogen is worried because Darra has gone missing. At a sleepover at Lily’s, Kyra has a vision of Darra in trouble, then is magically snatched to a warehouse where she saves Darra from attack by a mysterious Cobra statue. With no idea what is happening, Kyra is chased by a fairy and an elf, and is shocked to find she is in Bangkok.

The discovery of a time travel device allows Kyra and Darra to travel back in time to steal Magnus’ second journal, but they’re captured and Magnus learns that Kyra is a Triling like himself. Magnus tries to persuade Kyra to join his quest for the Purple Lotus and use it to benefit Trilings, but Imogen comes to the rescue. When they return to the Library, Ruksy demands to know what is going on.
