The Great Road — Laurel Richards

When Queen Adhira's city is attacked and she's captured by the winged sorcerer, Surtur Takkar, she calls to her twin brother for aid. As Arnon sets out on the Great Road to reach his sister, he is accompanied by a Seer prince, a stable boy with more bravery than brawn, and a reluctant hero who is the only one who can defeat the sorcerer. From warrior women to obnoxious tree-dwellers, they meet all sorts of friends and foes on their journey. Anything can happen on the open road, and loyalty and friendship are put to the test as they leave their homes behind to save the ones they love.
