As the plot thickens with a deftly constructed espionage storyline and an equally fresh and convincing love story, Seraphina finds herself burdened with maintaining the fragile peace of the kingdom while simultaneously striving to keep her lineage a secret. A treaty between humans and dragons, in place for 40 years, is now up for renewal. Please contact the library for materials on your account more than a week from the return date.
