Seventeen year old Jelena Preseren has lived her entire life as a social outcast because of her mixed human and elven blood. She labors as a servant in the household of her uncle, the powerful Duke of Amsara.
When her uncle tells her she is to be sold as a concubine to his wealthy neighbor, rather than submit, Jelena makes the decision to flee and strike out into the unknown on a quest to find her elven father, in the hope that he can help her to understand and control her newly awakened magical ability. But Jelena’s power isn’t the only thing that has awoken. Deep within a mountain, an ancient evil stirs, and as she begins her search for answers, it begins searching for her.
Accompanied by her human cousin, Jelena's journey takes her to a strange and beautiful land whose people live in the shadow of impending war. There, she encounters a fate she never anticipated—one of magic, danger, and most startling of all, true love.
Set against a backdrop of romance and adventure, Griffin's Daughter tells the story of one young woman's brave struggle to discover her true place in the world.
