Serafina and the Twisted Staff

De: Robert Beatty

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

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.

Late one night, Serafina encounters a strange and terrifying figure in the forest, and is attacked by the vicious wolfhounds that seem to be under his control. Even worse, she's convinced that the stranger was not alone, that he has sent his accomplice into Biltmore in disguise.

Someone is wreaking havoc at the estate. A mysterious series of attacks test Serafina's role as Biltmore's protector, culminating in a tragedy that tears Serafina's best friend and only ally, Braeden Vanderbilt, from her side. 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.

Perfectly brought to life

Just as good if not better than the first. Wonderful characters magically brought to life. A fantastical thrill ride that draws you in and doesn't let you go.

Awesome story!

I loved it! I could not stop listening to it. The narrator was fantastic and made every detail easy to visualize. Hoping there will be a third book!

A very good story

I started listening to this series after I visited Biltmore. It is a very interesting story and you won’t want to stop listening.

Great story.

This is a great story for middle schoolers. I should know, I am one! This incredible story has been exciting, and emotional as well. Reading about Serafina gives me a joyful feeling and I hope for you it does the same.

Good for children.

My nieces and nephew thoroughly enjoyed this book. We listened to it before we went to Biltmore and it was more interesting for them. These children are 12 and nine, this book really helped their attention. The vocabulary sometimes with a bit of a stretch. But it peaked their interest and got them thinking about words and what they mean.

Read it

I read the first book over a year ago and loved it. I heard there was a second book and had to read it. It has taught my to never judge a book by it's cover which you will find out as you read it. What I am trying to get across is READ THIS BOOK!!!

A good book

I is a good book for people who can't figure out what to read.

Kids Love This Series!!

My kids loved listening to this book on our long distance trip. They love listening about Seraphina's adventures at Biltmore. We know have to plan a trip to Asheville, NC!

I loved it

I loved it just as much as the first book. I am only 11 but I have been working on a book with a similar style in writing.

Way better than the first book

It was a great book I loved the parts that have a big plot twits I don't like how Braden thinks serafina hurt Gideon I would totally recommend this book just not at night. A less you are very very brave
