Publisher's Summary
Monster hunting isn't for the faint of heart - the first in a brand-new middle-grade series by NYT best-selling author, Kelley Armstrong.
Twelve-year-old Rowan is destined to be Queen; her twin brother, Rhydd, to be Royal Monster Hunter. Rowan would give anything to switch places, but the oldest child is always next in line, even if she is only older by two minutes. She resigns herself to admiring her monster hunting aunt's glorious sword and joining her queen mother for boring diplomatic teas. But tragedy shatters the longstanding rule, and Rowan finds herself hunting the most dangerous monster of all: a gryphon.
Accompanied by a feisty baby jackalope and a giant wolf that barely tolerates her, Rowan sets off on a journey that will see her join other unlikely allies: a boy with monster-hunting ambitions of his own, and a girl hiding dangerous motives. It will take all of Rowan's skills, both physical and diplomatic, to keep this adventure on track. The future of her kingdom depends on it.
"A gripping middle grade debut." (Publishers Weekly)
"A rousing romp for monster hunters and monster lovers alike." (Kirkus Reviews)

What the critics say
"...[A] fast and fun read, a great read-a-like for Tamora Pierce’s 'Tortall' series." (School Library Journal, starred review)
“Armstrong’s characters challenge gender norms, and her writing attends to themes of social justice and animal welfare, relying on strong episodic tension to drive the narrative. Highly Recommended.” (CM Magazine)

Good performance and story
I originally began this book because I thought it involved magic but soon learned it did not. However, it was a good story and I kept reading and found it continued to entertain me and keep me interested. It was a good book and I can tell there’s lots more to the story in the next books. The performance was good as well.
