The Scroll

Genef, an elf in a world where elvish kingdoms border on human ones, is just about adult and is seeking a career. Murder and mystery hamper her search but she is ably assisted, not least by her teenage dragon, accidentally imprinted at his hatching. This introductory volume in a fantasy detective series is not specifically directed at a young adult audience but would be suitable for anyone with an interest in coming of age and starting out in the world of work.
