The Sehret Chronicles C F Barrows

[SECOND EDITION. This book was pulled for a complete rewrite in 2017, and this -- the 2021 version -- is the result of that rewrite.] They've escaped the Forbidden Regions alive, but survival is just the beginning. The scouts forced together by a fateful cave-in within the Rhenor Mountains (The Sehret Chronicles #1: The Follower) have banded together and reached the surface. Their last goal is to reach Delnam, where they can part ways safely. But when Kirat runaway Zarea Kal brings dark forces crashing upon their camp, the group united by circumstance is once again torn apart. Now those taken captive find their lives and souls in peril. The four who escaped must race to save their allies, even as their own minds and bodies sabotage their efforts. And Zarea faces a war between guilt over the destruction in her wake and desperation to escape the throne she was born to inherit.
