eventually kidnapped by goblins, forcing the siblings to find and rescue them while a witch named Muriel plans to unleash a powerful demon named Bahamut.

Mull, having wanted to become a fantasy novelist ever since he was a child, submitted a manuscript to various publishers. Though the manuscript was rejected, Chris Schoebinger of Shadow Mountain Publishing took a liking for Mull's writing style and suggested to Mull writing a different type of novel. The novel would become *Fablehaven*, which took five months to write. The book was published on June 14, 2006.

*Fablehaven* was met with commercial success and generally positive reception. It sold 20,000 copies a few months after release, and eventually reached two million copies sold in the United States by 2011. It was the first book of a five-book series, which lasted from 2006 to 2010 and would become a *New York Times* bestseller. Mull eventually wrote and released *Dragonwatch*, a sequel series that lasted from 2017 to 2021.

### Plot

Kendra and Seth Sorenson, two siblings, visit their grandfather, Stan Sorenson, for a few weeks. When they arrive, they find their grandmother, Ruth, missing, and are informed that she is visiting a relative. Their grandfather informs them that there are disease-bearing ticks in the wood adjoining his house, and forbids them from entering the woods. Seth, however, disobeys him and explores the woods. He encounters an old woman in a shack, who tries to lure him inside. Unnerved by the experience, he returns to the house and persuades Kendra to join him in another woods excursion. Stan finds out about their forbidden ventures and explains that he keeps endangered species of lethal animals in the woods, which is why he told them not to enter the woods. Seth and Kendra convince him to lessen their punishment.

Shortly afterward, Kendra follows a series of clues given to her by Stan, which leads her to an instruction to drink unpasteurized milk straight from the cows on the farm. She had previously been warned against doing so by Dale, Stan's hired man. Hesitant to sample the milk, she persuades Seth to try the milk first. After he tastes the milk, Seth claims to be able to see fairies in the garden. Kendra drinks the milk herself and sees them too. Stan confronts them and explains that there are still magical beings in the world, mostly contained in preserves. His grounds are one of these preserves, designated *Fablehaven*. He explains that the old woman, whom Seth met is a witch named Muriel Taggert, and finally explains to them the real reason why they are not allowed in the woods: dangerous magical beings such as demons and specters are contained there.

Stan also informs them that Midsummer's Eve is approaching, a festival night on which the boundaries containing magical entities dissolve. The creatures are free to roam and wreak havoc everywhere on the preserve, except the house; they cannot enter the house unless a door or window is opened to them. Stan places Seth and Kendra in the attic, warning them not to leave their beds till morning. However, a set of goblins trick Seth into opening a window. Though Seth and Kendra are unharmed, the goblins provide entrance to other creatures, wreaking havoc in the house, turning Dale into a statue, and abducting Stan and Lena, the ex-naiad housekeeper. After an unsuccessful attempt to find Stan, the siblings return to the house. A message written with chicken seeds makes the siblings realize that their pet chicken is actually Ruth in an enchanted state. They take her to Muriel to release her from the spell, but in exchange, Muriel demands that they undo the spells binding her to the shack. After Ruth is transformed back into herself and Muriel is released, Ruth persuades Nero, a cliff troll, to tell them Stan's location in exchange for a massage. Nero informs them that Stan is held in the Forgotten Chapel.

Ruth tells Kendra and Seth that the Forgotten Chapel is actually a containment facility for one of the most powerful demons in existence, Bahumat. They realize that Muriel is trying to release Bahumat, and the three attempt to stop her. However, Muriel and her minions capture them all except for Kendra, who manages to escape. In desperation, she goes to the Fairy Queen's shrine, despite the potentially dangerous ramifications, and begs the Fairy Queen for help. The Queen spares Kendra's life, and provides her with instructions on how to create an elixir to enlarge the fairies and enhance their powers. Kendra creates the elixir and gives it to the fairies.

The enlarged fairies attack Bahumat and turn corrupted versions of themselves back to their original form. They re-imprison Bahumat and Muriel and release the humans imprisoned. Each of the fairies transfers their extra energy to Kendra, returning to their normal sizes in the process. This leaves Kendra with the ability to see magical creatures without consuming milk. As the school year starts and their parents collect them from Fablehaven, Kendra wonders what other magical wonders are present in the world.

### Summary of Plot

At the end of the school year, Kendra finds a kobold has infiltrated her eighth grade class. She can see mystical creatures without drinking a magical milk that is usually needed to enable humans to see such beings. Kendra can see this unseen world and its inhabitants without the milk elixir because the year before some fairies kissed her and gave her the power. To her, he is hideously repugnant, but to everyone else, he seems to be perfectly normal, even handsome boy. She knows this has problems written all over it. A couple days later, a man, who introduces himself as Errol Fisk, is found standing outside the school door. He tells them that he was sent by a Coulter, a friend of their grandfather. He tells them that they have been keeping an eye on the two Sorenson children and that he can get rid of the problem creature. Errol tells the children that to accomplish this, Kendra's brother, Seth, must retrieve a magical item from a mortuary. The mortuary is age protected from anyone who is 13 and older meaning that Seth, who is 12, is the only one that can enter. When he succeeds in getting the item by feeding it a dog biscuit, it bites him and teeth marks are left in his skin. Later, Errol asks Kendra and Seth to help him retrieve another object that can help save their grandparent's secret preserve for mythical beings, Fablehaven. Kendra is suspicious and so decides to call her Grandpa Sorenson but he fails to respond. After many failed attempts, her grandpa finally calls back and tells them not to go with Errol and that they did not send him. He tells Kendra a code word 'Kaleidoscope' and he tells them that a ride will be coming to pick them up and not to leave the house until then. Soon, a woman named Vanessa Santoro picks them up in a blue sports car. Errol pursues them, but they get away and arrive at the Fablehaven preserve safely in a short two hours.

The children learn that The Society of the Evening Star, an ancient organization determined to overthrow magical preserves and use them for their own intents and purposes, is determined to infiltrate Fablehaven. Worst yet, the word abroad is that the Society of the Evening Star (SES) is rising in power and working its mischief faster than ever. Preserves all over the world are falling at an alarming rate. Stanley Sorenson, Kendra and Seth's grandad, who is also the Fablehaven caretaker, invites three specialists, approved by the mysterious Sphinx, to aid in the protection of the property: "Tanu" the Potion Master; Coulter, a magical relics collector; and his old friend, Vanessa, who is a mystical creature trapper. In addition to protection, these three specialists have a more perilous assignment — to find an artifact of great power that is hidden on the Fablehaven property. This mysterious artifact is one piece of a key that opens the great demon prison, Zzyzx, home to hundreds of thousands of the worst demons. If Zzyzx opens, the world as they know it would end. The children start learning from each of the specialists and learning more about the preserve. Dale takes the children to a cottage, where his brother Warren has been in a catatonic state for years after visiting a grove on the preserve. Dale tells them how he can encourage Warren to eat and move, but not act of his own accord. Warren reacts to Kendra when she touches him.

Later, The Sphinx meets with Kendra and Seth to discuss the situation. After giving Kendra an uncharged magical object, he determines that she is fairykind, something highly unusual that had not happened for centuries. Then, the Sphinx speaks to Seth and explains that Olloch the Glutton will prove perilous to him as Olloch's only goal is to consume Seth. After being fed by him in the beginning of the book, Olloch will continue to consume creatures until becoming large and strong enough to destroy anything and everything keeping him from Seth.

When Olloch the Glutton pervades the gates of Fablehaven, all evidence suggests that one of the three visitors is a traitor. Finding the traitor is critical, since if the artifact falls into the wrong hands, it could mean the downfall of other preserves and possibly the world. However, although well-intentioned, Kendra and Seth become both a help and a hindrance to their grandfather's quest to protect Fablehaven.

Coulter awakens Seth and persuaded him to accompany him to an extremely dangerous part of Fablehaven, the grove at Four Hills, the place where Dale's brother, Warren, lost his mind. Once there, Coulter and Seth encounter a revenant that induces a fear so great, they become catatonic. Before Coulter and Seth succumb to the fear, Olloch finds Seth and Coulter. Coulter appears to become disoriented and forces something into Seth's mouth: a cocoon that is impenetrable. In the morning back at the house, Kendra is distraught about the supposed death of her brother Seth. Grandpa Sorenson finally resolves that Coulter was not acting of his own accord because his plan was so clumsy. That night, Dale is caught up in the Thief's Net which guards an artificial, pretend key. He had awoken to find himself stuck there. Suddenly, all the evidence matches up and the traitor seizes control of the house. Vanessa is revealed to be a narcoblix and a fight breaks out. Tanu, who has been poisoned with narcoblix venom, chases Kendra into the woods.

Kendra heads to find Lena with the water nymphs, as she has no other ideas who to go to for help. Kendra upsets the nymphs, who release Mendigo, the limberjack. Mendigo and Kendra tussle, and Mendigo captures Kendra and takes her to the Chapel from Book 1. His last command from Muriel was to bring Kendra to Muriel, who is buried with the demon beneath the Chapel. A fairy guarding the Chapel ends up helping Kendra change Mendigo to follow her orders instead. Kendra heads to the cottage where Warren is kept to regroup. Meanwhile, Seth awakens inside the cocoon inside Olloch. He ends up passing completely through Olloch and breaks out of the cocoon. Disoriented, he finds a closed up old mansion and decides to enter to climb onto the roof, so that he can get a view of his surroundings and decide where to go. From the top of the mansion, Seth can see the cottage and heads towards it.

At the cottage, Kendra and Seth are reunited. They disagree on how to move forward. Seth wants to take Tanu's courage potion and defeat the revenant so they can retrieve the artifact hidden on the preserve. Seth argues that they can use the artifact to defeat Vanessa and Errol and take back Fablehaven. Seth takes off with Mendigo when Kendra is in the bathroom. Seth defeats the revenant, but nearly dies doing so, and is rendered unconscious. Back at the cottage, Warren wakes up. He and Kendra realize that this must mean that Seth was successful and go to find him.

Warren and Kendra find Seth and send him back to the cottage. They decide to finish attempting to recover the artifact. The enter the inverted tower and have to overcome multiple obstacles. Vanessa and Errol catch up with them during the final challenge. Errol dies during the final challenge, Warren and Vanessa are badly beaten and dying. Tanu and Coulter arrive and Tanu wins the battle. They find that the Sphinx is there as well to take the artifact somewhere safe. After everyone is reunited at the house, they decide to lock Vanessa up in a quiet box where her magic can no longer control the others while they sleep. To do this, they have to remove the previous occupant, and the Sphinx says he will imprison the previous occupant elsewhere.

Something Vanessa said to Kendra made Kendra look for a secret message from Vanessa, which she found in her cell. The secret message revealed an accusation from Vanessa that the Sphinx is the leader of the Society of the Evening Star, news that Kendra shares with her grandparents.

### Summary of Plot

This book picks up where *Fablehaven: Rise of the Evening Star* leaves off, during the same summer of the second year at Fablehaven. During the Summer, Kendra is recruited by the Knights of the Dawn, a secret organization that opposes the society of the evening star, and for the first time, Kendra and Warren must visit another magical preserve, called Lost Mesa, that is located in the state of Arizona. They reside there, with Lieutenant Dougan Fisk, and dragon tamer Gavin Rose (whom Kendra has feelings for). Another hidden artifact must be recovered from Lost Mesa, before The Society unveils it first.

Meanwhile, Seth discovers that someone, or something, has released a plague throughout Fablehaven, that turns light creatures into dark creatures. His grandparents resolve to stay at Fablehaven to defend it, but it becomes clear that they can no longer protect the preserve. As light creatures can enter most places throughout the preserve, the same rules apply to their darker forms. As the plague spreads, Coulter is turned into a shadow and darkened Brownies overthrow the house and the caretakers flee with Seth to the grove around the naiad pool, now trapped inside Fablehaven. Seth, his grandparents, and Tanu must try to solve the mystery of the plague. Seth discovers that he has gained new abilities after destroying Fablehaven's revenant. He is able to communicate with the shadow Coulter, who remains on their side, hear the voices of prisoners from the dungeon that dwell underneath the main house, and speak the language of many creatures such as imps, goblins, trolls, demons, and giants.

Kendra and the group at Lost Mesa manage to enter the Painted Mesa, the location of the artifact, and survive, though several members of the Knights are killed in the process. Kendra then discovers that Patton Burgess had retrieved the artifact and hidden it at Fablehaven.

Seth and the other caretakers enter the original Fablehaven manor, which was abandoned after the caretaker of that time and his family were killed by a mysterious being, with Patton Burgess being the only survivor. After entering the manor, a mysterious woman made up of darkness turns everyone but Seth into shadows, but Seth finds the Chronometer, the artifact that Patton had stolen from Lost Mesa, and accidentally brings Patton forward in time for three days. With Patton's help, Seth escapes.

Returning from Lost Mesa, Kendra learns that Warren, Grandpa, Grandma, Dale, Tanu, and Coulter have been turned into shadows, visible only to Seth but retaining their goodness. Patton tells Seth and Kendra that the woman who attacked Seth at the manor and caused of the plague is a fallen hamadryad named Ephira who became mortal and went to Kurisock, a powerful demon, to help her regain her immortality. Patton, Kendra and Seth recruit the remaining light creatures, who have taken refuge at the naiads' pool, to help them take down the dark ones and restore the preserve. Lena also leaves the naiads and becomes human again in order to be with Patton. Kendra visits the Fairy Queen's shrine for help, and the Queen creates a stone that can stop the plague, destroying the shrine in the process. With the help of the light creatures, Patton, Seth and Kendra battle to Kurisock's lair where Lena gives her life to destroy Kurisock, Ephira, and the plague.

After the plague is stopped, Dougan comes to escort Kendra and Seth home. He also shares that the Sphinx is a traitor, confirming Vanessa's earlier suspicions.

### Summary of Plot

Just before Christmas break, Kendra is kidnapped by a member of the Society of the Evening Star and replaced by a Stingbulb (a plant that, once it stings someone, will grow into a perfect replica, but die after a few days). Warren and Seth notice something odd with the clone after they intercept a letter revealing secrets, but when they confront it, it swallows a pill and dies. They bury the clone (unaware it is not Kendra) and return to Fablehaven. Meanwhile, Kendra is taken to the home of a lectoblix (able to drain the youth out of people) named Torina to await a meeting with the Sphinx.

The Sphinx arrives and forces Kendra to use the Oculus, one of the magical artifacts that can open the door to Zzyzx. With it, Kendra is able to see everywhere at once, but it becomes overwhelming. The Fairy Queen is able to help Kendra release the crystal. Back at Fablehaven, another stingbulb infiltrates the group, this time in the form of Maddox. He releases Vanessa from the Quiet Box, but she knocks him unconscious and tells Grandpa Sorenson. With her help, they discover a plan to rescue Kendra, but the group is still distrustful of her. Kendra receives a note and a knapsack that has a magical room in it and a stingbulb. She creates a clone of herself, enters the knapsack, and escapes the house. She is picked up by Trask, a Knight of the Dawn, and returned to Fablehaven.

In the journal of Patton Burgess, Kendra learns there is a secret message about where the other magical artifacts are. They read the message and learn about the Ocolus, as well as the Translocator. In order to recover the Translocator they must go to the Dragon Sanctuary and recover a key. To enter the sanctuary, they must obtain a unicorn horn. In the Hall of Dread Seth is able to hear the whispers of the shades imprisoned there.

The only unicorn horn in Fablehaven was the property of the centaurs, but they refuse to let the group borrow it. Seth hears Graulus (the demon) call for him. He sneaks out to see him and there he learns he is a Shadow Charmer, and that he is able to hide in dim light, communicate with dark creatures, see magically invisible objects, and is immune to magical fear. With these skills he successfully steals the unicorn horn from the centaurs. With the horn, Kendra, Dougan, Trask, Mara, Gavin, Warren, and Tanu set off to the Dragon Sanctuary to recover the key. Seth is hiding in the magical knapsack.

They arrive at the Sanctuary and meet the caretaker Agad - a dragon who became human in order to become a great wizard. He gives them directions to the Fairy Shrine in Thronis's (a sky Giant) domain. On the way they meet a dragon (Nafia) and Warren gets injured and must remain in the knapsack. When they arrive, Thronis captures everyone except Warren and Kendra. Kendra meets a fairy dragon named Raxtus who is very nice and agrees to help her get to the Fairy Shrine. There, Kendra learns the way to the Dragon Temple. Raxtus agrees to take her there, but refuses to help further as it would be a betrayal to dragons. Meanwhile, Seth helps the group strike a deal with Thronis to obtain some items from the Temple in exchange for their freedom.

The group meets back up at the entrance to the temple. They survive the Hydra, kill Grommus (the group is put to sleep but Vanessa takes over Tanu's body and slays the dragon) and Seth and Kendra team up to use the unicorn horn to kill Silleta the poison dragon. Mendigo is dissolved in the process. Gavin heads back to try to deal with the Hydra, while the remaining group gathers the items for Thronis and the key.

When they leave the temple they are ambushed by 2 dragons. Tanu and Seth escape on Griffins to Thronis's tower. Gavin (who is Navarog, the Demon prince dragon) turns into a dragon, eats Dougan, and fights off the 2 dragons. Kendra escapes a cleft, and Gavin is forced to take human shape again to get to her. He destroys the knapsack (trapping Warren inside) and takes the key and the unicorn horn. Raxtus, small and invisible as he is, sneaks up behind Gavin and eats him.

The remaining group returns to Fablehaven with the key, and returns the horn to the centaurs, claiming they rescued it from the Society of the Evening Star. They begin to make plans to recover the next artifact. It is revealed that Kendra and Seth's parents have been kidnapped by the society.

Kendra, Seth, and the Knights of the Dawn continue to take the last possible steps to safeguard the keys and locks placed on Zzyzx. Graulas asks Seth to recover the Sands of Sanctity to ease his suffering as he dies and Seth agrees.

Kendra, Seth, and the Knights of the Dawn go to Obsidian Waste, the secret preserve in Australia, to get the Translocater, a magical teleportation device and one of the 5 keys to Zzyzx. They are welcomed by the caretaker Laura and twins Camira and Berrigan. Laura quickly kills Camira because she was plotting behind their backs, and reveals that many members of the Society of the Evening Star are waiting to ambush them. Several members of the Society appear and the group quickly flees to the Obsidian Vault where the Translocater is hidden. After a series of trials they get the artifact, only for the Society to capture Seth, Mara, and Berrigan, while Trask, Tanu, and Kendra escape with the Translocater.

After being captured, Seth is summoned to talk with the Sphinx. The Sphinx reveals that they are in Living Mirage, the fifth secret preserve, that he is the caretaker of. He also tells Seth that he is a shadow charmer and that he has the Font of Immortality and the Oculus, the last artifacts. The Sphinx imprisons Seth in the dungeon where Seth befriends Bracken, another prisoner. Seth learns that Bracken is a unicorn with no horn and is stuck in human form due to him giving up his third horn to make the Font of Immortality. Then he takes Seth to Nagi Luna, a demoness who mentored the Sphinx. When Seth and Nagi Luna telepathically communicate, Nagi Luna reveals that she secretly wishes to betray the Sphinx and open Zzyzx on her terms. She offers to give Seth power and that they will betray the Sphinx together but Seth refuses.

Back in Fablehaven, Vanessa reveals her secret. Grandpa and Grandma Larsen are alive and are undercover spies for the Knights of Dawn at Living Mirage. Kendra and the rest plan a rescue mission with the Translocater. However they are captured by the Sphinx in the attempt, thus giving the society four artifacts. Kendra is summoned to talk to the Sphinx where he reveals his master plan. While Kendra is talking with the Sphinx, a mysterious figure slips Seth a sack containing the Translocater and the Sands of Sanctity. With the Translocater, Seth escapes to Fablehaven and uses the Sands to heal Graulas, but Graulas betrays him and takes the Translocater and the Sands, revealing that Nagi Luna was the one who had the artifacts slipped to Seth. Graulus quickly overthrows the treaty and clams the Chronometer, killing Coulter in the process. He then teleports to Living Mirage and takes over the Society of the Evening Star.

Just before, Kendra is taken to the dungeon and meets Bracken. They both are broken out by Warren with the help of the Sphinx and the three, Kendra, Warren, and Bracken, head to the local fairy shrine where the Fairy Queen sends Raxtus the dragon to help them escape over the preserve's wall.

Meanwhile, Seth follows Coulter's last words to a secret message left by Patton Burgess. In the message, Patton suggests some truly desperate ideas to prepare to oppose the demon hordes. Seth allies with Vanessa and the satyrs and enlists wraiths to protect the house at Fablehaven, then visits and bargains with the Singing Sisters in order to locate a powerful weapon, the sword Vasilis from the age of wonders. This information takes him to the Totem Wall, where he slays one of Zzyzx's founders to claim the sword.

As Seth prepares for Zzyzx to open, Bracken, Warren, Kendra and Raxtus race to beat the Society to the final locks that hold Zzyzx shut, the last Eternals - immortal humans that must be killed before the demon prison can be opened. They fail, but Bracken retrieves his second horn, and they kill Mirav and Torina in the process.

Everyone meets up with Seth at the place where the ghost ship, the Lady Luck, will pick them up to take them to the location of Zzyzx, Shoreless Isle. After Seth uses his powers to procure passage they sail to the island. There, they find the Fairy Queen's shrine near the dome holding Zzyzx. Kendra and Bracken speak once more to the Fairy Queen, who tells them that she has destroyed all of her other shrines, and that they have one final secret plan. The astrids are restored as the guardians of the fairy world and are equipped for battle. For the plan to work they need the five artifacts, so Seth, some astrids, and a repentant Sphinx teleported into Zzyzx and reclaim the artifacts. Seth uses Vasilis to slay Nagi Luna and Graulus, while Kendra uses Vasilis to kill the Demon King. After evacuating her world, the Fairy Queen allows the remaining demons to rush into her newly cut off world, trapping them there. With the artifacts in hand, Agad the wizard locks the demons in and the Fairy Queen makes Zzyzx her new home.

Kendra, Seth, their parents and their grandparents move to the re-established Fablehaven. Raxtus visits and reveals that the Fairy Shrine at Fablehaven has been restored. He takes Kendra there, where she meets Bracken. The book closes as Kendra and Bracken contemplate their future together.
