Borderlands — Skye Melki-Wegner

The action-packed adventure continues in the second book of the Chasing the Valley trilogy

Danika and her crew of escaped refugees are seeking the safety of the Magnetic Valley -- and trying to evade Sharr Morrigan, the king's most lethal hunter. But the borderlands they must cross to reach the Valley are smugglers' territory: lawless, wild, and steeped in ancient magic. When one of the crew is badly wounded, Danika turns to the smugglers for help -- and accepts a bargain that might prove deadly. It is Lukas, however, who hides the most dangerous secret. What has he seen through the eagle's eyes? The answer can be found in an alchemy charm and a smuggler's tale, and will lead Danika and her friends to an electrifying, unputdownable showdown.
