Description:

Rise of the Evening Star is the thrilling, darker second instalment in Brandon Mull's bestselling Fablehaven series. As the school year draws to a close, Kendra spots a dangerous goblin lurking in her classroom — a sign that the magical world of Fablehaven is under imminent threat. Back at the preserve, Grandpa Sorenson assembles a crack team of specialists — a potion master, a relics collector, and a creature trapper — to defend against the Society of the Evening Star, an ancient and ruthless organisation intent on seizing a hidden artefact of world-ending power. A traitor may already be within the gates. With stakes higher than ever, Kendra must harness her newly discovered fairy gifts, while Seth must somehow restrain his irrepressible impulse for reckless adventure. Richer, more suspenseful, and even more imaginative than the first book. Best read after Fablehaven. Recommended for readers aged 9 and above.
