About the Book
Siblings Kendra and Seth discover that their grandparents' estate is actually a secret preserve for magical creatures—fairies, demons, satyrs, and more—and that the rules governing the preserve exist for very good reasons when Seth decides to break them. A wonderfully inventive fantasy series opener full of humor, danger, and genuine imaginative richness. Brandon Mull creates a mythology for magical creature management that feels genuinely original.

Mild Violence
Magical creatures create danger; violence is fantastical and age-appropriate.
