The Gryphon's Lair by Kelley Armstrong

5.0

Everyone's favorite monster-loving, monster-taming, monster-hunting princess with her wide array of companions--of the human and fuzzy/feathery/scaly variety!

Princess Rowan is learning all she can as the Royal Monster Hunter. She is particularly eager to continue the study of the gryphon she brought home to the castle--and especially the baby the gryphon is pregnant with! But when things go horribly wrong, the baby is orphaned and imprints on Rowan. But as the baby grows fast and causes havoc, Rowan knows that it is her duty to bring the baby to the home of the gryphons, so that she can be among her kind. But what is a journey with a baby gryphon without a few bumps in the road? Especially of the monster variety?

The conclusion to the "Royal Guide to Monster Hunting" duology, Armstrong brings closure to these characters, while still leaving plenty of room for the imagination of the future adventures of Rowan, Dain, Jacko, and all of their friends. Fantastic in every sense of the word, "The Gryphon's Lair" is a stunning tale about friendships, growing up, responsibility, and, of course, monsters!
