Plot Summary of Queen of the Undead
"Tom, Betty Ann, and Emma all come into contact with the low, pink building, which is a gateway to two other worlds: the World of the Undead, and the land of Gruss. All of them come from the World of the Living, but Betty Ann goes to the land of Gruss, where she becomes ruler, and Emma goes to the World of the Undead, where she becomes the Queen of the Undead. The Bringer of the Light rules the World of the Living, and employs Tom with the task of finding his old friend Onis, and then destroying the Queen and Betty Ann. But when Tom finds his friend, he also finds truth: that the Bringer of Light is the Bringer of Death, and that he will stop at nothing to achieve his goal - which is to rule all three worlds. Along with the help of a faery friend named Schazel, they fight the Bringer of the Light, only to discover the dark secret all three rulers share."
