Serafina is an odd girl, right down to her bones. She’s missing a toe on each foot, and she prowls the night, killing rats in her unofficial capacity as the Biltmore Estate Chief Rat Catcher. She skitters up drapes and tapestries, and she longs to have a true friend. One night, as she prowls around,...
