About Fablehaven
In the first book of this New York Times bestselling series, two siblings inherit a hidden sanctuary for magical creatures and must race against the clock to protect it from looming dangers. For centuries, mystical creatures of all kinds have found a home in Fablehaven, a hidden home where they are protected from extinction. The sanctuary is one of the last strongholds of true magic. Enchanting? Absolutely. Exciting? You bet. Safe? Well, actually, quite the opposite . . . Kendra and her brother, Seth, have no idea their grandfather is the current caretaker of Fablehaven. Inside the gated woods, ancient laws keep order among greedy trolls, mischievous satyrs, plotting witches, spiteful imps, and jealous fairies. However, when the rules get broken, powerful forces of evil are unleashed, forcing Kendra and Seth to face the greatest challenge of their lives, to save their family, Fablehaven, and perhaps even the world.
