Serafina and the Black Cloak is an exciting new book from Disney Hyperion about an unusual girl who lives secretly in the basement of the grand Biltmore Estate. Serafina has strange amber eyes, a mane of streaked, lion-like hair, and other peculiar characteristics. Her pa has warned her to keep herself hidden from the fancy folk above, so she prowls through the darkened corridors at night, sneaking through the hidden doors and secret passageways of the vast house. The night is her domain and hers alone. But one night, she sees a sinister stranger in a black cloak capture a little girl. When other children at the estate start disappearing, Serafina faces a difficult decision: Should she step out into the light to save these children? Should she risk everything by approaching the young Vanderbilt boy? To defeat her black-cloaked enemy, Serafina must not only confront her darkest fears, she must delve into the mysteries of her own identity.
Serafina and the Black cloak is a spooky, Southern gothic mystery-thriller written for children (8+) and adults. It’s available in hardcover, ebook, and audiobook wherever books are sold.
