His mood is sour, and he shows no love to Gideon. He has a badly damaged leg and wears a brace. Serafina wonders what has happened to Braeden in her absence. She also learns she can shapeshift into natural elements like water. She discovers she can move dust by blowing on it. She wonders if she’s dead, but she seems to be able to control the particles in the world around her to some degree. And when she tries to talk to Braeden, her Pa, or even Braeden’s beloved dog, Gideon, no one can hear her. It’s quickly evident she’s been away for quite a while. Someone or something above helps her dig herself out, and she returns to Biltmore. She wakes up in a coffin that is buried underground. When this book opens, Serafina is confused. Book two ended with Serafina and Braeden, aided by Waysa, defeating Uriah and Rowena and enjoying life at Biltmore once again. Serafina accomplished one of her deepest longings when she was able to shapeshift into a panther and save Braeden. Uriah’s daughter, Rowena, had posed as a Biltmore guest and pretended to help Serafina and Braeden fight the evil attacks on the estate. They battled an evil conjurer named Uriah with a long-time grudge against the Vanderbilts. She befriended the Biltmore owner’s nephew, Braeden Vanderbilt. She also met Waysa, a young catamount about her age. In earlier books, Serafina discovered her mother was a catamount who could transition between human and wildcat forms. Serafina is the self-proclaimed protector of Biltmore and is a skilled hunter.
