The Morris Award-winning author presents her New York Times bestselling teen debut, a fantasy novel set in an alternative-medieval world full of dragons.

The newest member of the royal court, a uniquely gifted musician named Seraphina, holds a deep secret, one that she guards with all of her being. When a member of the royal family is brutally murdered, Seraphina is drawn into the investigation alongside the dangerously perceptive—and dashing—Prince Lucian. But as the two uncover a sinister plot to destroy the wavering peace of the kingdom, Seraphina's struggle to protect her secret becomes increasingly difficult . . . while its discovery could mean her very life.

A New York Times bestseller, Seraphina won the William C. Morris Award, received eight starred reviews, and was named to multiple "best of" lists.
