Seraphina, by Rachel Hartman

What if we tamed all the dragons–and they demanded equal rights? A wonderful fiction debut for fantasy fans, the music-oriented, and anyone who’s fallen hopelessly in love.

Seraphina is a secret abomination in the kingdom of Goredd—half human, half dragon. Her mother died when she was an infant, and her father is obsessed with suppressing the secret to protect the family, as well as Seraphina herself. But when her musical genius pushes her into the eye of the court, and her overpowering visions connect her with mysterious figures who might hold the keys to her mother’s memories, her secret identity becomes precarious.

Meanwhile, unknown powers threaten the fragile peace negotiated between humans and dragons. Is it a conspiracy of dragons, or a conspiracy of humans? Seraphina becomes inextricably involved in the intrigue as her friendship deepens with Glisselda, the youngest princess in line for the throne—and with Glisselda’s fiancé, Prince Lucian Kiggs, also Captain of the Guard.

An exploration of isolation, relationship, and responsibility, in a breathtakingly set and thrilling story of intrigue.
