Fablehaven (Book 1): Kendra and Seth are siblings that go to their grandparents house because their parents are on vacation. Grandpa gives Kendra a set of keys, and the clues lead to her drinking some milk, it was sweet, and she and Seth are able to see fairies after they drink the milk. Since Kendra and Seth solved the mystery their Grandpa tells them about the place, it is a secret preserve for magical beings named Fablehaven. Seth captures a fairy, and when a fairy is left indoors overnight she becomes an imp which is a fallen fairy or an evil one which is also ugly. The fairies punish Seth and he becomes a walrus, and he is turned back by a witch named Muriel who will be freed if all her knots are used to grant wishes, after that wish to bring Seth back to his normal state she only has one knot left. They found a message and it said that their chicken was actually their grandma, and they set Muriel free with the chicken turning back to their grandma. After Muriel was free she set Bahumat free (a demon) and all of Kendra's relatives were captured. She went to the fairy queen's shrine and asked for help, she was given a recipe for a potion, and all the fairies drank it and they turned big. Bahumat was destroyed, and was sent underground. Kendra realizes that without drinking the milk every day she can see fairies.
Rise of the Evening Star (Book 2): A year later, Kendra is in school and she sees a goblin at her school, and she is the only one at school who knows who he is because she could see fairies, it's called being fairystruck as she was told. She meets a person who helps them get rid of the goblin, but in the process a demon bites Seth and then he is followed by the demon. They realize that the person who helped them get rid of the goblin could not be trusted and then they are saved by a person named Vanessa who brings them to Fablehaven. There are three people who are helping Fablehaven Vanessa, Coulter, and Tanu, among them there is one traitor. Kendra and Seth see The Sphinx who they trust until later, Kendra turns out to be fairykind which is the maiden of the fairy queen. The traitor turns out to be Vanessa and she puts everyone in the dungeon. Vanessa also can control people in their sleep. Since Fablehaven is a secret preserve there is a secret artifact there, Seth goes and he faints after taking out the talisman of the creature guarding the artifact. Warren is catatonic after trying to do what Seth accomplished and because Seth did it Warren was back to normal and he and Kendra went for the artifact. They are at the last obstacle when they meet Vanessa. The guardian was guarding the artifact. They end up working together to get the artifact, and it is something that can heal anything. It is called the Sands of Sanctity, but in the end the Sphinx takes the artifact. The Sphinx takes out a prisoner and puts Vanessa in so that she cannot use her powers.
Grip of the Shadow Plague (Book 3): Kendra and Seth are back at Fablehaven. Kendra becomes a full fledged Knight of the Dawn which is against the Society of the Evening Star. She goes on a mission to another secret preserve called Lost Mesa with Warren and some others, one named Gavin Rose who is a dragon tamer and is only 16. All of them are Knights of the Dawn. They go through all of the obstacles including speaking to a dragon nicely, and they see no guardian guarding the artifact, and there is no artifact at all. Being fairykind, Kendra can see fairy language (silvian) and she reads something that talks about the artifact of the Lost Mesa being brought to Fablehaven. She tells no one but Warren, when they go back to Fablehaven they find the artifact which is called the chronometer. The chronometer controls time, so Seth brought Patton Burgess to the present for 3 days. He was actually a past owner of the preserve. Fablehaven had been taken over by a plague, it turns light creatures into dark creatures with one bite. Kendra goes to see the fairy queen again and she gets advice, she is told that it is with another demon named Kurisock. That demon had taken a form of a tree naiad who had lost her tree. She became immortal, and her tree had the talisman that was spreading the plague and also that talisman was the one that Seth pulled out. Seth went to a demon called Graulas and he was told that he was a shadow charmer because he pulled out the talisman (which was a nail). The fairy queen also gave Kendra another talisman that would destroy the nail and itself if in contact, and if the nail was destroyed so would Kurisock. In the end Patton's wife named Lena sacrificed herself and the nail and the talisman was destroyed.
Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary (Book 4): Kendra was kidnapped by the Society of the Evening Star, and is brought to the Sphinx who turned on the Knights of the Dawn and was actually the leader of both sides. The Sphinx forced her to look into oculus which could see anywhere and she managed to get out of the trance while most others went catatonic. Kendra escapes by using a bag called a knapsack, it has a lot of space and people can go in there, if a person goes in the knapsack and the knapsack is thrown they will not feel it. To be able to recover the key for the Obsidian Waste which houses the translocator. Warren, Gavin, Kendra, and some others that are part of the Knights of the Dawn go to Wyrmroost. Wyrmroost is a dragon sanctuary, and they need a unicorn's first horn to get it, so they ask the centuars they say no. In the middle of the night, Seth goes to Graulas and Graulas tells him that he can slink through the shadows, and because of that he manages to steal the unicorn horn. Kendra leaves and Seth is supposed to stay at Fablehaven but he hides in the knapsack; warren also leaves. They meet up and on a helicopter get to Wyrmroost. They get into Wyrmroost and meet a wizard named Agad. They stay at a camp for a while, and Kendra meets a tiny dragon named Raxtus who helps them. They go into the Dragon Temple and finally make it to the end and acquire some things and find the key. Dragons go for them, and it turns out Gavin is the person that the Sphinx let out of the prison that Vanessa went into. Gavin is really a dragon so evil that he is considered a demon, his name was Navarog. Navarog killed someone named Dougan who was a lieutenant in the Knights of the Dawn. Navarog burns the knapsack while Warren is in there and injured. Kendra corners Navarog in his human form so he cannot transform and the tiny dragon named Raxtus ate him. Then they barely managed to get out of Wyrmroost and back to Fablehaven.
Keys to the Demon Prison (Book 5): After Kendra and the others had gotten the key that would open the Obsidian Waste, they headed off to Australia to get the Translocator, which was inside of the Obsidian Waste.

They manage to escape with the Translocator but Seth is captured in a gaseous state. Kendra saves warren because she had been inside the knapsack before. Seth was brought to a prison in a secret preserve that everyone really didn't know about, only the Sphinx and some others. Seth meets Bracken who was a unicorn but his third horn was taken away so he couldn't revert to unicorn form. Kendra thought her mom's side's grandparents were dead, but they really weren't. They used the Translocator to get to the secret preserve named Living Mirage to save Seth. All of them end up getting captured though.

REVIEW: I really loved this series, I think it's my new favorite. I read this book over vacation on my kindle and it was 34 hours long. I just figured out today that there is a sequel; I can't wait to read the sequel! My sister was bugging me the whole time I was reading the book because on the road trip she wanted me to play with her.
