Old

A

violent
storms
and
flooding
that
stands

everything
in
its
path.

new
powers

it's
too
late.

the
impossible,

herself
as
the
Guardian
of
Biltmore,
friend
of
Braeden,

Pa,
and

of
the
Blue
Ridge
Mountains
and

and

it
home.

"Beatty spins an enchanting mystery through lonely Serafina's golden eyes... Each new clue adds another brush stroke to this keenly perceptive portrait of a young girl searching for answers about herself and the world around her.
