When Jennifer cries over the death of an enemy, the legend of the seraph is activated. With help from the legendary Smoky Coils, Jennifer valiantly tries to bring peace between the two warring sides. A little help from her friends and family doesn't hurt either. But how can you bring peace when there is so much hate?

Gloria Seabright led an unusual childhood. When she was a teenager, her life changed irrevocably. She watched her father die in a burning inferno when dragons attacked their town. When the same dragon turned to breathe its deathly fire upon Gloria, she remained unscathed. The townspeople were in awe and quickly let the young woman lead them and train their young in the ways of a beaststalker. Gloria despised all dragons and made it her mission in life to destroy all the monsters she could.

When she was a young woman in college she fell in love with a wonderful man. He taught her many things, including chess. However, he also shared his gift of sight with her. At the time she learned his gift, she was several months pregnant with their child. When she turned her newly gifted eyes upon him, she saw the creature lurking within and was horrified. She killed him, but not before he ripped their unborn child from her womb and cursed her. She was not to kill anything ever again or it would somehow be taken back upon herself.

Jennifer Scales in the Ambassador between the Blaze and the Beaststalkers. When her father renounces all his ties to the Blaze, she is stunned. Now the youngest elder of her clan, she is sent to learn a lost elder skill from one of the oldest dragons in the world. When she returns from her lessons, she learns of an attack being planned for Gloria and the town of Winoka. She quickly gathers her friends and family and rushes to warn Gloria, the town's mayor, of the upcoming attack. She arrives safely, but the arachnid clan has beaten her to Gloria with a jam-packed action ending that will leave you stunned.

This fourth installment of the Jennifer Scales adventures was loaded with information of several key characters. Highlighting certain points of their past brings new light to new and present events. The emotional growth and confidence of Jennifer and her friends brings surprising strength to the storyline. With a twisting plot and backdrops full of detail, SERAPH OF SORROW is action-packed and full of heart. I couldn't put it down as I absolutely loved it!
