      Ogni notte, impaziente di imparare il modo di vivere dei coguari, fa visita a sua madre nella foresta. Sa di essere a metà tra due mondi: troppo selvaggia per le consuetudini raffinate e le dame in ghingheri di Biltmore, troppo umana per condividere del tutto il destino dei suoi simili. Una notte, Serafina incontra nella foresta un inquietante individuo e viene aggredita da feroci mastini che sembrano obbedire ciecamente ai suoi ordini. Ma quel che è peggio, è che è convinta che il forestiero non sia solo, bensì che abbia già inviato un suo complice in incognito a Biltmore. Qualcuno sta seminando scompiglio al castello. Una misteriosa serie di attacchi mette alla prova Serafina nella sua parte di guardiana di Biltmore e culmina in un tragico evento che allontana brutalmente da lei il suo grande amico e unico alleato, Braeden Vanderbilt. Con il cuore spezzato, Serafina fugge. Nel folto della foresta si ritrova ad affrontare il demone che assedia Biltmore, scoprendo che i suoi intenti sono molto più malvagi di quanto pensasse. Tutti gli esseri umani e le creature che abitano tra le Blue Ridge Mountains corrono spaventosi pericoli. Perché possa sconfiggere questo essere diabolico, prima che travolga la sua adorata dimora, bisognerà che Serafina compia un viaggio nel profondo di se stessa e accetti il destino che le appartiene da sempre.

      From #1 New York Times best-selling author Robert Beatty comes a thrilling new series set in the magical world of Serafina. Move without a sound. Steal without a trace. Willa, a young night-spirit of the Great Smoky Mountains, is her clan's best thief. She creeps into the homes of day-folk under cover of darkness and takes what they won't miss. It's dangerous work-the day-folk kill whatever they do not understand--but Willa will do anything to win the approval of the padaran, the charismatic leader of the Faeran people. When Willa's curiosity leaves her hurt and stranded in the day world, she calls upon an ancient, unbreakable bond to escape. Only then does she discover the truth: not all day-folk are the same, and the magical foundations that have guarded the Faeran for eons are under attack. As forces of unfathomable destruction encroach on her home, Willa must decide who she truly is. To save the day-folk family that has become her own--and lift the curse that has robbed her people of their truth--Willa will meet deadly force with trusted alliance, violence with shelter, and an ever-changing world with a steady heartbeat of courage.
