Shadow Scale-Rachel Hartman

"Shadow Scale" is the second and concluding novel in Rachel Hartman's "Seraphina" duology. It continues the story of Seraphina Dombegh, a young woman in the kingdom of Goredd who is half-human and half-dragon, a secret she must carefully guard in a world where tensions between the two races are high.

Following the events of "Seraphina," war has broken out between humans and dragons. Seraphina discovers she has a unique and powerful connection to other half-dragons, the ityasaari. The only hope for peace lies in finding these scattered individuals and uniting them to wield their powerful, magical abilities against the dragons who threaten Goredd.

Her quest takes her across the land, as she gathers this diverse group of ityasaari. However, she faces opposition from humans who fear her kind and a dangerous, manipulative half-dragon named Jannoula who can enter and control people's minds. Seraphina must learn to embrace her own mental gifts, which she has long suppressed to protect herself, and make a choice between the safety of her old life and a powerful new destiny that could save her world.
