A Land of Myth and Magic — Emma Bradley

When the war begins, there are two choices: escape to save your friends, or stand and fight.Stuck on the other side of the cursed forest after the firebird came to claim her, Neri faces not only the truth about her location, but also Niall's past. Jakiris seems like a utopia compared to the restrictions of the Governance, but behind the smiles and the beautiful landscapes, a war is brewing. As rumours spread of the Governance's retribution, and with Niall's behaviour taking a nose-dive, Neri must find a way back through the cursed forest to save her friends. Can she find a way to save both sides of the land she now calls home?
