FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description For the people of the Carpathe Mountains, in the country of Somerlarth, autumn marks the time of gryphons. Every year is the same: first the lesser gryphons move into the farm fields and then the standard gryphons move in on the local herds.Taryn, a young shepherd, is as used to this cycle as any mountain dweller and she knows how to ward off either strain of beast. Sure, its a nuisance but its expected--just like her mothers insistence on her finding romance in their small mountain town. Nothings ever perfect, right?But, Taryns predictable world is turned on its head as two revelations hit in quick succession: First, her twin brother Michael reveals that he has been offered a place in a distant lords service. Its no secret that her twin brother longs for more than the drudgery of shepherding, and now he has a decision to make. Come spring, he may leave Nophgrin and her forever.Next, panic spreads as several of a neighbors livestock turns up dead in what looks to be the worst gryphon attack in recent memory. A string of more kills soon follows, and a band of mercenaries is called to deal with the terrified towns problem.The twins quickly become embroiled in two conflicts that threaten to tear them apart. Can Michael be dissuaded from leaving? And what will Taryn do with the feeling that, despite the inconvenience, one of the mercenaries might just have that certain something she has been looking for?As the conflicts between family, mercenaries and gryphons reach their peak, Taryn must decide who the monsters truly are, and what she will do about it.A novel set in a whole new world, one populated by warriors, monsters, and magic, "Of Gryphons and Other Monsters" is the first in the "Taryns Journey" quartet. Author Biography Im Shannon McGee, avid gardener, dog and cat mom of four, amateur artist, and most importantly Im a writer of fantasy YA. Since I was young Ive been a reader. Mostly I have been a lover of fantasy, since that is where my obsession with books began. Still, there were some stories I wanted to read that I just couldnt find, and you know what they say-if the story you want to read hasnt been written you must write it. I turned to making my own maps and filling those maps with people and then giving those people histories and stories to tell.
