Synopsis
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. But she finds herself caught between her two worlds: too wild for Biltmore's beautifully dressed ladies and formal customs, and too human to fully join her kin. Late one night she encounters a strange and terrifying figure in the forest and is attacked by vicious wolfhounds that seem to be under his control. A mysterious series of attacks tests her role as Biltmore's protector, culminating in a tragedy that tears her best friend and only ally, Braeden Vanderbilt, from her side, while all the humans and creatures of the Blue Ridge Mountains are in terrible danger. The second Serafina book.
