Books with title The King of Elflands Daughter

A single night, and sudden tragedy, forever changes the lives of King Ashbel, Sir Elden, and Sir Aaron of the kingdom of Kegan.Sixteen-year-old Asher is a beautiful, headstrong, independent young woman with a tendency toward snark (that is probably going to get her in trouble someday) who can’t remotely be referred to as frilly or dainty. Her biggest dream is to become a knight, a protector of the realm. Except… that’s a privilege reserved for nobility, specifically, male nobility. If only she weren’t simply a farmer’s daughter... or, you know, a girl. It also wouldn’t hurt if her father supported her dream. But the only one actually on her side is her best friend Firebird. Sure, he’s a talking dragon who she largely has to keep secret from almost everyone she knows, but at least he supports her. And someday she will figure out how to ride him without falling off mid-flight. Maybe.Feeling deep within her soul that she’s meant for more than an ordinary life, Asher longs to escape her painfully average circumstances, but as she continually prays to God for direction and receives only silence as reply, she grows increasingly desperate for her purpose in the world to be revealed and her life to truly begin. When an opportunity suddenly presents itself, she jumps at the chance, taking her destiny in her own hands. It’s a choice that will launch both her, and Firebird, down a road of adventure and new friends, crossing paths with King Ashbel, Sir Aaron, and Sir Elden in ways no one would have expected, along an intricate journey of danger, hope, and discovery, that leaves her wondering if she really took anything into her own hands, or if a divine purpose has been working all along... with her at the very center of it.Ordinary is about to fly out the window... on dragon’s wings.A king swallowed by grief.A knight haunted by his failures. A man afraid of his past. A madman seeking the throne at any cost. And the girl who just might connect them all.How do you keep trusting God when your life doesn’t go according to plan?

It's hard to overstate just how influential The King of Elfland's Daughter has been to modern fantasy; particularly high fantasy, sword and sorcery, and high fantasy. Lyrical and dream like it takes us on a search for a fairy princess and the magic that man has always secretly craved. Masterfully written, poignant, and yet still full of exciting action and adventure. It's not simply the beauty of the language, the astute eye for character, the hint of humor, or even the spell of legendry and wonder, but Dunsany's unique combination of all of the above.-- Charles de LintA fantasy novel in a class with the Tolkien books.--L. Sprague de CampIt could be the very best fairy story ever written.--Gahan WilsonNo amount of mere description can convey more than a fraction of Lord Dunsany's pervasive charm.--H. P. LovecraftOne of the greatest writers of this century.--Arthur C. Clarke
