Serafina's
defeat
of
the
Man
in
the
Black
Cloak
has
brought
her
out
of
the
shadows
and
into
the
daylight
realm
of
her
home,
Biltmore
Estate.
Every
night
she
visits
her
mother
in
the
forest,
eager
to
learn
the
ways
of
the
catamount.
But
Serafina
finds
herself
caught
between
her
two
worlds:
she's
too
wild
for
Biltmore's
beautifully
dressed
ladies
and
formal
customs,
and
too
human
to
fully
join
her
kin.
When a mysterious series of attacks test Serafina's role as Biltmore's protector, she finds herself torn from the side of her best friend and only ally, Braeden Vanderbilt. Heartbroken, she flees.
Deep in the forest, Serafina comes face-to-face with the evil infecting Biltmore-and discovers its reach is far greater than she'd ever imagined. All the humans and creatures of the Blue Ridge Mountains are in terrible danger. For Serafina to defeat this new evil before it engulfs her beloved home, she must search deep inside herself and embrace the destiny that has always awaited her.

Recenzii
*"Beatty
continues
to
build
a
fascinating
magical
world,
the
Blue
Ridge
Mountains
and
Biltmore
Estate
developing
beyond
mere
settings
into
characters
themselves.
Each
place
reveals
history
and
clues
to
Serafina's
life
and
those
of
other
gifted,
mysterious
beings.
Even
better
than
its
predecessor,
a
sequel
that
delivers
nonstop
thrills
from
beginning
to
end."—Kirkus,

review
PRAISE FOR SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK
"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. The book leaves readers satisfied with the plot but hungry for more about its unusual heroine. Adults and children will eagerly follow Serafina from the basement into a world of self-discovery, justice, and new friendships."—Kirkus
PRAISE FOR SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK
"Serafina narrates with an engaging voice that draws the reader into her world. The setting is just as engaging: the Biltmore drips with opulence and the surrounding forest with sufficient eeriness...Serafinahas enough mystery and fantasy (with a fair amount of creepiness) to satisfy young readers."—Historical Novel Society

PRAISE FOR SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK
"The vast estate with a haunted past and a creepy present makes for an atmospheric setting, and Serafina's multiple narrow escapes from her enemy are absolutely thrilling. Serafina herself is an enchanting heroine, brave and determined, and her attraction to the dark forest adds another layer of suspense and mystery."—BCCB
PRAISE FOR SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK
"The story drips with suspense, wrapping readers in to the narrative just as easily as the man in the black cloak binds his young victims. Serafina's friendship with Braeden is heartfelt and believable... mystery fans will enjoy this book... A creepy, suspenseful read."—School Library Journal
