Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows #3 is the fifteenth issue of the series.
Synopsis[]
Tyler Locke is chasing after Bode Locke as he's stolen his hat and hides under a carpet. Under the carpet, they find a key embedded in the floorboard, the size of an entire person. Tyler also notices a key-shaped window on the wall.
Daniel Mutuku arrives at Keyhouse as Nina Locke has contacted him to show him the key she found when Zack Wells waked her the other night. Later, when Nina is about to leave, Kinsey finds empty wine bottles in her mother's room and they have a fight about it.
In the evening, while the kids are busy with theirs, Zack sneaks into the basement of the house where he finds the Shadow Key he uses on a door leading further down into a crypt, and then a crown. He takes control of the shadows and makes a disguise shaped like The Dark Lady.
The shadows ambush and start fighting the kids.
