  <default_description>&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Born between two cultures, a young woman searches for acceptance. An ancient evil searches for her.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

A young girl lives as a social outcast due to her mixed human and elven blood. To escape an arranged marriage, Jelena flees into the unknown on a quest to find her elven father. Her journey takes her on an unexpected adventure of magic, danger, and most startling of all &#8212; true love.

&#8220;GRIFFIN&#8217;S DAUGHTER is ranking right up there with any fantasy I&#8217;ve read recently from the major presses.&#8221;&#8212; Tia Nevitt, Fantasy Debut

&#8220;This is the opening tale of what looks to be a great epic fantasy.&#8221; &#8212; Harriet Klausner, #1 Ranked Amazon Reviewer

&#8220;Leslie Ann Moore&#8217;s debut fantasy book, Griffin&#8217;s Daughter (the first book of the Griffin&#8217;s Daughter Trilogy), is quite an interesting book. I think it&#8217;s the best romantic fantasy debut I&#8217;ve read this year.&#8221; &#8212; Sami Airola, Risingstar.net

&#8220;[A] likeable set of characters who showed heart, and an engaging story. [R]eaders new to fantasy who liked Feist, and the Mallorean, etc, would like this too - I would recommend it accordingly.&#8221; &#8212; Janny Wurts, author of The Wars of Light and Shadow
