SOLVED. Sci-Fi/Fantasy book based on a prophesy in which an orphaned boy is supposed to be the one to overthrow an evil sorceress queen to return sacred land back to the elves that were displaced [s]

I'm looking for a book I read about 8 years ago. It wasn't my book, it was left behind at my workplace. I believe there were 2 or 3 books in the series. Here is what I remember...

It is based around a prophesy in which an orphaned boy is supposed to be the one to overthrow an evil sorceress queen to return sacred land back to the elves that were displaced.

One of the main male characters was called "Caden's Crow". He was disowned by his family because he was wrongly blamed for killing a group of important people (I believe including the king) in an expedition. It was actually the evil sorceress, which allowed her to become queen.

One of the main female characters is an archer who was born into royalty. As a baby, her father gave her to his most trusted friend (who was half man half griffin?) and she was raised with his people.

There are 2 main elves I remember, one named Seethe (female) the male I can't remember. There was also a female elf that wasn't as prominent that had gouged out her eyes because she could see the future and she didn't want the queen to use her eyes, or something like that.

There are dragons in the book along with, what I believe they call them, dragon stones, which are the hearts of dragons. The person holding a dragon stone can communicate with the dragon it belongs to.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?!

Also, the female archer learns to access another realm just before falling asleep where she goes and talks with her father
