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. Will

McKinley's The Hero and the Crown.--Entertainment Weekly [A] lush, intricately
plotted fantasy.--The Washington Post Beautifully written. Some of the most
interesting dragons I've read.--Christopher Paolini, New York Times
