โฆ Synopsis
For the people of the Carpathe Mountains, in the country of Somerlarth, autumn marks the time of gryphons. Taryn, a young shepherd, knows how to ward off this beast. Taryn's 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 lord's service. Next, panic spreads as several of a neighbor's livestock turns up dead in what looks to be the worst gryphon attack in recent memory. A string of more killings follow, and a band of mercenaries is called to deal with the terrified town's problem. -- Amazon.
