In a mini-story available with purchase of the 3rd book from Barnes & Noble titled "The Bond", it is revealed how Gidean had saved Braeden from his burning home, which consumed Braeden's brothers, parents, and sister. Soon after, though, he and his dog were bonded again. In Serafina and the Splintered Heart, Braeden grew cold toward his Doberman friend due to the trauma of Serafina's loss.
They had been together for years before the first book took place. Gidean: Gidean is Braeden's loyal Doberman dog. None of this progression was shown, seeing as Serafina was dead during the time this happened. In the third book, however, after Serafina's death, they had supposedly formed a bond with each other. Waysa: Throughout the first and second book, Braeden and Waysa had little to do with each other. At the end of book four, they finally said their “I love you’s” to each other. However, when she finds her real family, they do not fit her image of a typical family either. She longs for a mother and what she thinks is a typical family. They soon forged into a deep friendship, maybe something more, and defeated all antagonists, together. Through Serafina, the novel explores several issues including good vs evil, the need to have an identity that matches society’s expectations, and social status issues.
