Seraphina Dombegh is a talented musician at the royal court, but she carries a secret that could destroy her. In a world where dragons can disguise themselves as humans, Seraphina is a hybrid, half-human and half-dragon, and her existence violates the fragile peace between the two species. The first novel sets up the political and personal stakes that carry through the series.

Shadow Scale, the sequel, expands the world as Seraphina searches for others like her. Rachel Hartman builds her fantasy world with unusual care, drawing on medieval music theory, philosophy, and religious debate to create a setting that feels lived-in rather than borrowed from other fantasy novels.
