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. 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.
