Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

The treaty of peace between dragons and the people of Goredd is unstable. Although Seraphina must guard herself from prying eyes, she is drawn into the investigation of the suspiciously draconian murder of a royal prince.

With something for everyone (including danger, espionage, mystery, murder, romance, self-discovery and more), this fantasy tops the must-read list! Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!
