The Survivor — C.F. Barrows

The ragtag group thrown together by a cave-in in 'The Follower' have reached the surface of the Rhenor mountains, and have plotted their course to Delnam, where they will part ways at last. Their adventure takes them through the hostile Kirat territories, but as long as they keep to themselves and are careful to avoid the locals, they expect to reach their destination safely. When Zarea Kal, a Kirat runaway, brings her pursuers crashing down on the camp, the group united by circumstance must fight for their freedom, and those already free must survive long enough to set things right. But even with their enemies occupied, the battle for their souls and sanity still rages, and demons -- either real or of the mind -- refuse to retreat into the shadows that spawned them. The battle for survival is not over. It has only just begun.
