Lyrical, imaginative, and wholly original, this New York Times bestseller with 8 starred reviews is not to be missed. Rachel Hartmanâs award-winning debut will have you looking at dragons as youâve 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 Seraphinaâs kind.  Not that anyone else does either. Hers is a world where dragons and humans live and work side by sideâbut 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, sheâs 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, Seraphinaâs struggle to protect her secret becomes increasingly difficult . . . and its discovery could mean her very life.  "Will appeal to both fans of Christopher Paoliniâs Eragon series and Robin McKinleyâs The Hero and the Crown."âEntertainment Weekly â[A] lush, intricately plotted fantasy.ââThe Washington Post "Beautifully written. Some of the most interesting dragons I've read."âChristopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon Meet Seraphinaâs sister, Tess, in Rachel Hartmanâs brand new fantasy adventure, Tess of the Road.
