The storms are coming....
Something has happened to Serafina. She has awoken into a darkness she does not understand, scarred from a terrible battle, only to find that life at Biltmore Estate has changed in unimaginable ways. Old friends do unthinkable things and enemies seem all around.
A mysterious threat moves towards Biltmore, a force without a name, bringing with it violent storms and flooding that stands to uproot everything in its path. Serafina must uncover the truth about what has happened to her and find a way to harness her strange new powers before it's too late.
With only days to achieve the impossible, Serafina fights to reclaim herself as the Guardian of Biltmore, friend of Braeden, daughter of her Pa, and heroine of the Blue Ridge Mountains and all the folk and creatures that call it home.
In the epic third installment of Robert Beatty's #1 bestselling series, Serafina takes her rightful place among literary champions as she battles fiercely to defend all she loves and become everything that she is meant to be.

Horn Book Review

Escaping from a dark grave, young shape-shifter Serafina (Serafina and the Black Cloak; Serafina and the Twisted Staff) finds herself--and the world she knows--changed. Invisible, Serafina can only watch as a terrible evil wreaks havoc, threatening her beloved Biltmore Estate, the Blue Ridge Mountain region, and its inhabitants with catastrophic storms. Suspense and tension build steadily in this gripping trilogy closer. (c) Copyright 2018. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Booklist Review

Shapeshifter and mystical Guardian Serafina awakens buried alive, her memories scrambled, unsure of how she got there. As she tries to unearth the mysteries of how she ended up six feet under, more and more frightening things come after her. There are black shadows in her forest home, a sorcerer creeping through, and the world she's so familiar with has changed immeasurably. When Serafina finally returns to the Biltmore Estate, too much is different: her best friend, Braeden, is terribly injured, and her pa, the caretaker, is sad and alone. With old enemies resurfacing and friends behaving oddly, can Serafina remain the Guardian? Or will she be reclaimed by the forest and become a harmless spirit? There's a pervasive and chilling creepiness to this third novel, and while Beatty is planning more set in Serafina's world, this is the last of the trilogy for now. Any young readers looking for a light supernatural thrill, as well as fans of the first two installments, will be hooked.--Comfort, Stacey Copyright 2017 Booklist
