seraphina coverFour decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Dragons can fold themselves into human shape, which enables them to lend their rational, mathematical minds to scholars and teachers, and attend court as ambassadors. Seraphina Dombegh, an unusually gifted musician, is drawn into an investigation with the captain of the Queen’s Guard and the crown prince, when a member of the royal family is murdered in suspiciously draconian fashion. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect the deadly secret behind her musical talent.
