Elfkind Catherine Cruzan

Lariel lived a life of privilege as the daughter of King Tallen and heir to the Tallen throne, until the Captain of the King's Guard betrayed her family, murdered her father, and claimed the throne for himself. Scared and alone, and on the run for her life, Lariel finds refuge with the Elves. She discovers within herself a heritage previously unknown. She is Elfkind-not fully human-with all the gifts and the dangers that come with it. There is unexpected magic to be harnessed and new skills to be learned. But will Lariel's hard-won talents be enough to defeat the coming dark? Does she have the courage to regain her throne, free her people, and save the Elves?
