In Seraphina the peace between the dragons and the kingdom of Goredd was shattered when assassins in the service of rebel dragons attempted to end the life Ardmagar Comonot, general of the dragons who was currently visiting the kingdom. With the dragons now broken into two camp, civil war engulfs both sides. On one side, those who support Comonot and his peace initiative with the humans. On the other, those who claim dragon superiority and who wish to purge their ranks of all aberrations as well as humanity.

Part dragon and part human, Seraphina finds herself on the front line of this clash of civilizations. She has built a garden where she keep grotesque representations of other half dragons, but now she must find them all in person so they can create the ultimate weapon to end this terrible conflict.

Unfortunately, others are also pursuing this end, and now Seraphina finds herself in a race against time, where she must muster enough support from the other of her kind to tip the balance and save Goredd. And her enemy is another half dragon just like her. Seraphina will need to make a terrible choice. Retain the relative safety that her life currently provides, or release her mind and, while putting herself in danger, reach her destiny?
