Serafina and the Black Cloak-The Serafina Series Book 1 by Robert Beatty
Read the #1 New York Times best-selling children's fantasy thriller recommended by thousands of teachers nationwide!Serafina lives secretly in the basement of the grand Biltmore Estate--but when children begin to disappear from the Gilded Age manor, she must solve a fantastical and dark mystery to save them . . . and herself.
"Never go into the forest, for there are many dangers there, and they will ensnare your soul."
Serafina has never had a reason to disobey her pa and venture beyond the grounds of Biltmore Estate. There's plenty to explore in Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt's vast and opulent home, but she must take care to never be seen. None of the rich folk upstairs know that Serafina exists; she and her pa have lived in the basement for as long as Serafina can remember. She has learned to prowl through the darkened corridors at night, to sneak and hide, using the mansion's hidden doors and secret passageways.
But when children at the estate start disappearing, only Serafina knows the clues to follow. A mysterious man in a black cloak stalks Biltmore's corridors at night. Following her own harrowing escape, Serafina risks everything by joining forces with Braeden Vanderbilt, the young nephew of Biltmore's owners. Braeden and Serafina must uncover the Man in the Black Cloak's true identity before all of the children vanish one by one.
Serafina's hunt leads her into the very forest that she has been taught to fear, where she discovers a forgotten legacy of magic. In order to save the children of Biltmore, Serafina must not only face her darkest enemy, but delve into the strange mystery of her own identity.
Robert Beatty, his wife, and their three daughters live in the mountains near Asheville, North Carolina. He is currently a full-time writer, but he was once a cloud computing pioneer, the founder/CEO of Plex Systems, co-founder of Beatty Robotics, and CTO and chairman of Narrativemagazine.
