Fablehaven 3- The Grip of the Shadow PlagueIn the beginning Seth meets Newel and Doren the Satyr's they take him to meet the nippsies which are really tiny people about as big as your thumb. They are at war which is extremely unusual for them because they are normally very friendly creatures.
Then Kendra is told she is to become a knight and everyone is worried because they are afraid the Sphinx is a traitor and he is actually working for the Society of the Evening Star. There is a boy named Gavin that is knighted also in the same ceremony with Kendra.
Seth and Coulter were playing checkers together when Doren comes along and says that Newel has been transformed into a mean satyr. Because the nippsies had bitten him he was infected. They went to try and rescue Newel but got bitten and so did Coulter. Coulter turned into a shadow. Because it works differently on humans than on magically creatures.
And then Seth is taken by the shadows to a demon called Grevious. (?) And says Grevious says that he can overcome magical fear. There was a tree next his cave that had a nail in it that was powerful and Seth had to find a way to destroy the tree because if it was destroyed then the evil woman would die as well.
kendra goes on a mission to another secret spot called Lost Mesa. She finds a secret way that has been lost for hundreds of years. The next night they (Kendra and her team) climb up the Lost Mesa and they are greeted by spirits that attacked them because they interrupted their ceremony. One person is lost. One person was a skin walker (a person who can change shape.) he was turned into a Stallion and grabbed Gavin and Kendra and took them up to the Mesa and left them there to help others.
they go through all the traps and they meet a dragon and talked with it and were able to go past. Then they find out the artifact they were after had been moved from Lost Mesa and was taken to Fablehaven. When they return to Fablehaven and tell everyone the news. Everyone tells their stories about what happened to them. And that night they are attacked by evil brownies. The brownies had set up 100's of traps and Kendra and Seth shove down a rocking horse and set off the traps so then they can go down the stairs safely. Then they escape the house safely. They run to the pond. There they are protected from the evil creatures because they can not go into the pond. The next day they make a party and all the creatures jump out and attract attention which Grandpa, Seth, Grandma, Dale, and Warren used to escape the pond to the haunted mansion. Then everyone turns to shadows except Seth.
Seth finds the artifact and then he presses a button and Patton (a man from the past) comes alive and they escape the mansion and they are taken to the pond. Patton talks to Lena and she jumps out of the water. She becomes human again
