Description:

Grip of the Shadow Plague is the darkest and most gripping instalment yet in Brandon Mull's bestselling Fablehaven series. A mysterious plague has been unleashed within the preserve, corrupting creatures of light and twisting them into beings of darkness — and it is spreading fast. As trusted allies come under suspicion and the Sorenson family faces their most desperate crisis yet, Kendra and Seth must each rise to extraordinary challenges. Kendra, chosen for a dangerous mission only she can undertake as fairykind, journeys with the Knights of the Dawn to a faraway preserve in Arizona to recover a hidden artefact before the Society of the Evening Star claims it. Meanwhile, Seth remains at Fablehaven and uncovers a remarkable new ability of his own. Richer, more suspenseful, and more inventive with every page. Best read after Rise of the Evening Star. Recommended for readers aged 9 and above.
