Bookroo's summary

Auggie loves working at the Fabled Stables, but fears his time there may end. When tasked with rescuing the Shibboleth, he and Fen find themselves in a dungeon with a mysterious girl and a ravenous monster. The creature has devoured the evil Rooks and now eyes them. Can Auggie and Fen discover the secret to calming the beast before it's too late?

From the publisher

Book 3 in the one-of-a-kind adventure series from New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Auxier explores the real magic behind simple acts of kindness. Auggie loves his job at the Fabled Stables, but he fears the day when it will come to an end. Fen keeps dropping hints that caretakers don’t stay forever, and it’s giving Auggie the grumps. Thankfully, there always seems to be a new stall to fill. This time, the stables set Auggie on a quest to rescue a beast called the Shibboleth–but the portal leads Auggie and Fen to the lair of the evil Rooks! In the dark, damp dungeon, they meet one mysterious girl and one very hungry monster. It’s already gobbled up all of the Rooks, and Auggie and Fen are next unless they figure out the one way to calm the creature. Will they be able to work together to complete the mission before it’s too late?
