Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman

A richly imagined fantasy follows a young musician who bears a dangerous secret—she is part dragon—and must leave the safety of court to hunt down others like her across fractured lands. As she and a ragged band of allies search for her hidden kin, they confront violent prejudice, shifting alliances between humans and dragons, and revelations about the true nature of both species. The journey forces the protagonist to reckon with identity, loyalty, and love while deciding how to use her power in a world teetering toward war.
