The Dark Griffin is a 2009 fantasy novel by K.J. Taylor, the first in the Fallen Moon series, followed by The Griffin's Flight. [1] [2]
The land of Cymria is ruled by those humans who can communicate with, and work with, the griffins, with both rogue humans and wild griffins treated poorly. For Arren Cardockson, the main protagonist, who has risen to his position because a griffin chose him, his background means that he does not have access to justice. For the black griffin, his inability to communicate with humans means he does not understand the human world. Each of the pair must fight for survival, and for freedom.
The novel was nominated for the 2009 Aurealis Award for best fantasy novel. [1]
