Where There Be Humans — Rebekah L. Purdy

Sixteen-year-old Ivy Archer is arguably the best warrior-in-training Gob Hollow has ever seen. Yet everyone -- except her best friend she suddenly has other feelings for -- looks down on her because she's only half goblin. She's always suspected her other half might be human. But humans, Ivy's been told, aren't real...

When the prince of their kingdom is taken for ransom, it's Ivy's big chance to prove her worth. And when she learns his captors are human, the rescue mission becomes personal. The stories were clearly wrong, and now she has a chance to find the truth about her lineage -- if she survives.

With her best-friend-turned-crush and a small band of warriors, Ivy sets out to find the prince and her human family. But the answers lie within secrets...and conspiracies run far deeper than she ever imagined.
