Griffin's Daughter (The Griffin's Daughter Series) by Leslie Ann Moore

JELENA WAS ALWAYS A LITTLE DIFFERENT, BUT WHEN BLUE FIRE ERUPTS FROM HER HANDS PROTECTING HER FROM A BULLY, SHE KNEW IT WAS TIME TO DISCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT HER PAST.
No one of mixed-blood is ever truly accepted in Soldara, especially not a child conceived out of wedlock. Jelena’s mother died giving her life, and she has been raised by an uncle who treats her as little more than a servant. But there’s something more to Jelena that not even she knows about. In a desperate attempt to save her people, an ancestor of Jelena’s stole the power of The Nameless One and placed it where he could never reach it—a thousand years in the future, trapped within Jelena.

To try to understand her ability, Jelena sets off to find her father, her only clue an exquisite ring with the figure of a griffin. But Jelena’s power is not the only thing that has awoken. Deep beneath a mountain an ancient evil stirs, and as Jelena searches for answers, it starts searching for her.
