The Stantons go caroling at Miss Greythorne's Manor. While singing, Merriman and Will go to into another time unnoticed. Will attends the ceremonial renewing of the third sign. Will, Merriman, and his friend Hawkin retrieve the Book of Gramarye. Will absorbs everything from the book, learning his powers as an Old One before Merriman destroys the book. Hawkin, lured by the Dark, betrays the Old Ones. Will retrieves the third sign in his own time. Maggie and the Rider appear, but disappear when Will clumsily uses his powers. After church on Christmas, the Dark attacks again. The Old Ones hold the Dark off, only defeating it when Will uses his three Signs. After the battle, Will finds the fourth sign. The Stantons find the Walker unconscious in the snow and take him home.
