It All Started with the Griffin

"Everything was the same as before, — except that now griffins were added to the device of the universe".

After the mysterious death of her father, young Marjan Dustani discovers that he was far from an ordinary person. It turns out that all the tales about mythical creatures that he told her in childhood were not just tales. Leaving home, he traveled the world, caring for manticores, griffins, unicorns, and other unusual beings. And now Marjan is to take his place.

Trying to make sense of everything, the girl finds herself in a dark and tangled world of ancient alliances and power struggles, eccentric billionaires, ancient magical systems, and one fantastic menagerie. As she gets closer to uncovering her father's death, Marjan realizes that danger threatens the entire fantastical world.
