Books with title Serafina and the Seven Stars

Serafina and Braeden make an epic return in the hotly anticipated fourth installment of Robert Beatty's #1 New York Times best-selling Serafina series. Serafina, the Guardian of Biltmore Estate, has won battle after battle against the dark forces encroaching on her home. Now, tranquility has returned to Biltmore. Serafina doesn't trust it. She patrols the grounds night and day, hardly sleeping, uncertain of her place after her best friend Braeden Vanderbilt's departure for boarding school in New York. When Mr. Vanderbilt, the kind master of Biltmore, asks Serafina to move upstairs into one of the house's grandest rooms, she's sure it's to keep an eye on the guests who have arrived for the estate's annual hunt. But as Serafina investigates, she becomes more and more unsettled by what Biltmore has become-a place haunted by nameless terrors where no dark corridor is safe. Even worse, she begins to doubt her own senses. Is Braeden really hundreds of miles away, or did he return to Biltmore for one strange night before vanishing? Is the bond between them truly broken or is it stronger than ever? Then Serafina witnesses a crime that turns her world upside down. How can all that once seemed good and worthy of protection now be evil? And how can she guard those around her when she can't even be sure of the truth of her own heart? Serafina and the Seven Stars marks the return of a heroine like no other, as master storyteller Robert Beatty weaves his darkest, most astonishing tale yet.

An exciting new ebook with illustrations for teens from the folks at Beebliome Books!Richard Larkin, fifteen-year-old orphan from Philadelphia, thought his luck had changed when the famous literary figure Samuel Johnson found him work at an "eating house," called the Seven Stars. As a Colonial, ignorant of the secret Jacobite movement to dethrone King George II, Richard was puzzled by the guarded political conversations at the tavern. Then one night, while serving a gathering of aristocratic men clad in silks and satins, he overhears a dark plot, coded with mysterious names and allusions - and witnesses the cold-blooded murder of the one dissenting voice. The story moves on, as swiftly and as deftly as the spies and counter-spies who hunt Richard down, involving him deeper and deeper in their dangerous and separate causes. Samuel Johnson, William Hogarth and David Garrick come alive in flesh and blood terms as Richard moves in and out of the intrigues of the famous Elibank Plot of 1752. Re-created in full costume, are the lords and ladies, the street urchins, the men of art and letters, who peopled the flowering of the Age of Reason. With cloak-and-dagger overtones, a history adventure that is vivid, authentic, and hard to put down. For readers age 11 and above.

The angel Rithrial made it very clear that Sara Starbright was in no way, shape, or form to even think about her father, lest she draw the attentions of the ancient beings and forces that hunt him. But when you are only thirteen years old, have no home to go back to, and everyone you meet wants to take your gifts for themselves, following the rules is the last thing on your mind.Free for now from the foul attentions of the fish-like Mongrel after shattering his sinister Prison of Light, Sara and the Chimera have yet to find a place amongst creation for themselves. When an ill-fated attempt at going home again sends them again on the run, this time with Sara’s mom in tow, things begin to again spiral out of control. With their options quickly running out, Sara decides to gamble everything on locating her reclusive father, the mysterious Seventh Star of Twilight.So how does a girl that quite literally knows everything go about finding an enigmatic primordial creature that has erased himself from history? Even when your best friend is a constantly-evolving monster capable of nearly anything, it’s hard to even know where to start. With only straws to grasp at, Sara feels her best bet is gathering together as many allies as she can—all those who had been close to her father in recent years. In numbers there is strength, and when that number is seven, there lies a little magic as well.
