Hey Fantasy Fans! This week the eagerly anticipated sequel to Rachel Hartman’s Seraphina, SHADOW SCALE, hits bookstores. Seraphina is about a world where humans and dragons coexist, though their alliance is a little shaky. The title character is a half-dragon/half-human musician with a magical gift who may be the key to saving the world. In the sequel Shadow Scale things are really starting to heat up.
About the book:
Dragons and humans battle in this breathtaking sequel to the acclaimed Seraphina by Rachel Hartman.
The kingdom of Goredd: a world where humans and dragons share life with an uneasy balance, and those few who are both human and dragon must hide the truth. Seraphina is one of these, a part-girl, part-dragon, who is reluctantly drawn into the politics of her world. When war breaks out between the dragons and humans, it is she who must travel the lands to find those like herself–for she has an inexplicable connection to all of them, and together they will be able to fight the dragons in powerful new and magical ways.
As Seraphina gathers this motley crew, she is pursued by humans who want to stop her. But the most terrifying one chasing her, is another half dragon, who can creep into people’s minds and take them over. Until now, Seraphina has kept her mind safe from intruders, but that also means she’s held back her own gift. It is time to make a choice. Cling to the safety of her old life or embrace a powerful new destiny?
