The Serafina book series is set at Biltmore, the Gilded Age mansion built by George W. We enjoy exploring its rooms and corridors and envisioning all the stories – both realistic and imaginative – that could take place there. It’s a place filled with history, beauty, and a sense of mystery. My family and I live very close to Biltmore, and we visit there often. Do you have any favorite parts of the house or a favorite memory from visiting Biltmore? Serafina’s adventures take place at the majestic historic home Biltmore in North Carolina. If you haven’t read the books yet, this interview is SPOILER FREE, so read on to get a taste of Serafina’s world!

In anticipation of the book’s release, we had the chance to ask author Robert Beatty a few questions about the series. 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. A mysterious threat moves towards Biltmore, bringing with it violent storms and flooding that stands to uproot everything in its path. Old friends do unthinkable things and enemies are all around. She has awoken into darkness, scarred from a terrible battle, only to find that life at her home, the historic Biltmore Estate, has changed in unimaginable ways. Here’s a synopsis of Serafina and the Splintered Heart: Today we’re celebrating the release of the latest book in the series, Serafina and the Splintered Heart, out July 4. The first two books in the series, Serafina and the Black Cloak and Serafina and the Twisted Staff, are already out. Mystery, magic, adventure – what more could a reader want?! If you can’t get to Hogwarts, the elegance of Biltmore is a pretty good substitute. We here at MuggleNet are big fans of Robert Beatty’s Serafina series, which follows the escapades of a young girl who lives on the grounds of Biltmore Estate.
