Leslie Ann Moore

Leslie Ann Moore writes epic fantasy and has also worked as a visual artist and medical illustrator. Griffin’s Destiny concludes the Griffin’s Daughter trilogy after Griffin’s Daughter and Griffin’s Shadow. The series follows Jelena, a young woman of mixed human and elven heritage whose search for belonging becomes tied to a conflict with wider consequences. In the third volume, war, illness, sacrifice, and the fate of a powerful key draw the trilogy’s personal and political threads together. Published in 2009, Griffin’s Destiny completes the three-book order. Moore’s visual background complements a story built around imagined peoples, landscapes, and symbols, while the trilogy’s continuing relationships give those elements emotional weight. Readers should begin with the earlier books to understand the world and its alliances fully. The conclusion enlarges questions of ancestry and acceptance into an epic struggle, requiring its characters to decide what they will risk for one another and for communities whose survival depends on cooperation across inherited divisions.
