Lauriel by Nancy Dillman

Lauriel is a Tuaneth, a race of ancient and magical beings who first brought art, science, and culture to the lesser races of Humankind in Erdos. Captured by savage bandits as a child and condemned to servitude among Humans, she vows to find her people and not only discover her place in the world, but unravel the mysteries of her birth. Risking her life, and sometimes her heart, she pursues her dream through many lands and adventures, mingling with kings, pirates, slaves, and unscrupulous merchants, all wanting to use her for their own ends. But her final challenge is the most difficult, pitting her against a cunning and evil villain whose black magic will destroy Humans and Tuaneth alike in his quest for world dominion. To avert disaster, Lauriel is tasked with healing the rift between Tuaneth and Humankind, bitter enemies for over a thousand years, but in the process, she finds unexpected passion which forever alters her life.

This book contains some sexual content and is intended for readers over the age of 18. Lauriel's story is about her journey of self-discovery and her search for love and belonging. It is an uplifting tale inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth.
