Serafina Book 3 Sneak Preview Reading

Join Robert Beatty, author of the #1 New York Times Bestselling SERAFINA SERIES, for his special sneak-preview reading of the opening chapters of SERAFINA AND THE SPLINTERED HEART, the highly anticipated third book in this acclaimed Disney-Hyperion mystery-thriller series set at Biltmore Estate. Be the first to hear the story before the books publication in July.

This exclusive, intimate event is the first public reading of the new book in Asheville, and the venue the historic Asheville Masonic Temple is as magical and mystical as Serafina herself. Mr. Beatty will perform his dramatic reading in the beautiful theater, which once served as Asheville's opera house and still retains the incredible hand-painted backdrops. In addition to the reading, the event will include Q&A with the author, costumed characters from the book trailers, photo opportunities, a reception with the author and his family, signings for the first two books, and Serafina giveaways.

Tickets for this special event are $24, which includes a pre-order for a signed and personalized hardcover copy of Book 3, which you'll receive when it comes out in July. Alternatively, you can choose to receive a copy of Book 1 or Book 2 at the event, or donate a Serafina book to a local school.

Malaprop's will also be on hand for additional Serafina book sales if you need extra copies at the signing. Food and drink will be on sale through the venue's concession stand. Most of your ticket price will go to the cost of the book itself, but a percentage of the ticket price will go toward the preservation of this historic site.

The SERAFINA SERIES follows the adventures of a brave and unusual girl who lives at Biltmore Estate amidst the splendor of the Gilded Age and the rugged beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Young and old alike are enjoying this spooky, Southern Gothic thriller that mixes history, mystery, and magic.
