Author Event: Asheville Serafina/Willa Robert Beatty Author

Join #1 New York Times best-selling author Robert Beatty to celebrate the release of his new book, WILLA OF THE WOOD, the much-anticipated follow-up to his wildly popular SERAFINA SERIES. This special event includes a book signing, the opportunity to meet the author and other fans, free food & drink, and lots of Willa and Serafina giveaways.

Set in the Great Smoky Mountains in 1900, WILLA OF THE WOOD is filled with the history, mystery, and magic of the region. The story follows an orphaned 12-year-old girl who is one of the last members of an ancient race of forest people in tune with the trees and animals. Willa spends her days and nights foraging from the forest and scavenging from the log cabins of her greatest enemies, the axe-wielding “newcomers.” Through a series of action-packed encounters and an unexpected kindness, Willa begins to realize that both the newcomers and her own people are not what she’s always been told, setting in motion her quest for a new home and a new sense of belonging in a changing world.

WILLA OF THE WOOD and the SERAFINA SERIES are published by Disney-Hyperion. The SERAFINA SERIES is the story of a brave and unusual 12-year-old girl who lives secretly in the basement of the grand Biltmore Estate. SERAFINA AND THE BLACK CLOAK, the first book in the series, was a #1 New York Times best seller, remained on the best sellers list for more than 60 weeks, and was the winner of the 2016 Pat Conroy Southern Book Prize. The second book in the series, SERAFINA AND THE TWISTED STAFF, became a NYT #1 best seller in the first week of its launch. The third book, SERAFINA AND THE SPLINTERED HEART, launched Serafina onto the NYT Best Selling Series List, along with such titles as Harry Potter and The Hunger Games.

Be sure to watch the exciting Serafina book trailers:
