Das Leben in Giebelstein ist beschaulich, sagen die Erwachsenen. Sterbenslangweilig, sagt Kyra. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem sich das dunkle Tor zur Vergangenheit öffnet und Kyra und ihre Freunde Chris, Lisa und Nils den Hexen und Dämonen der Finsternis gegenüberstehen. Sie stoßen auf ein uraltes Geheimnis, das sie für immer begleiten wird: das Geheimnis der Sieben Siegel. Es ist Mitternacht. Ein Albtraum wird Wirklichkeit. Ein riesiger schwarzer Storch treibt mit seiner Teufelsbrut im alten Hotel Erkerhof sein Unwesen. Kyra, Lisa, Nils und Chris müssen ihn aufhalten. Aber wie sollen sie den Dämonenvogel bekämpfen, der sie durch das Labyrinth der Hotelflure jagt? Die alte Chronik über den teuflischen Baron Moorstein, dem der Erkerhof einst gehörte, bringt die Freunde auf eine Idee: Liegt die Lösung etwa in der Vergangenheit des uralten Gemäuers?
