Shortlisted for the 2012 Governor General’s Literary Award for Children’s Text, Seraphina is now available in paperback!
Four decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty’s anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high.
Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs, the captain of the Queen’s Guard. While they begin to uncover a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect the secret behind her musical gift–a secret so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life.
Praise for Seraphina:
“An impressive debut novel; I can’t wait to see what Rachel Hartman writes next.” –Christopher Paolini, author of Eragon
“Seraphina is strong, complex, talented. . . . I love this book!” –Tamora Pierce, author of the Beka Cooper series
