"Seraphina," by Rachel Hartman, is set in a fantasy world where dragons possess the ability to take human form. The story follows Seraphina, a gifted musician and the daughter of a human and a dragon. This unique heritage makes her life complicated as she navigates the societal tensions between humans and dragons, especially with the upcoming royal wedding meant to solidify peace between the two factions.
The narrative takes a turn when a member of the royal family is mysteriously murdered, bringing Seraphina closer to the conflict. As she gets entangled in political intrigue, she must confront her own identity and the fears that come with it. Her talent for music becomes pivotal, allowing her to connect with others and explore the depths of her own abilities.
Throughout her journey, Seraphina discovers the importance of understanding and acceptance. She forms bonds with both humans and dragons, revealing that the boundaries between them are not as clear-cut as they seem. Ultimately, her struggle for acceptance and her efforts to bridge the gap between the two species make her a key player in the fight for peace.
