Seraphina - Rachel Hartman

Lyrical,
imaginative, and wholly original, this New
York Times bestseller with 8 starred reviews is not to be missed.
Rachel Hartman's award-winning debut will have you looking at dragons as
you've never imagined them before

Seraphina is a
half-dragon, descended from a dragon mother who took human form and a father
who has no particular fondness for Seraphina's kind.

Not that anyone else
does either. Hers is a world where dragons and humans live and work side by
side-but below the surface, tensions and hostilities are on the rise. Seraphina
guards her true self with all of her being, but when a member of the royal
family is brutally murdered, she's suddenly thrust into the spotlight, drawn
into the investigation alongside the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian.

As the two uncover a
sinister plot to destroy the wavering peace of the kingdom, Seraphina's
struggle to protect her secret becomes increasingly difficult . . . and its
discovery could mean her very life.
