Books with title The Fallen 4: Forsaken

Kayla: I don't know how much time has passed. I don't even know what is real and what isn't. There are times where for a matter of minutes, I'm in a dark place. The room is dirty, warm, and I'm alone. My hands and legs are bruised and I feel weak. I want to fight. I want to find my dagger and go after whoever is doing this to me, but I can't. I feel the wards around me, but those wards are different than the ones that protected the Academy. These are dark and keep me from using my nephilim abilities. For the rest of the time, I'm always with Hunter, and we are at the Academy, but there is never anyone else around us. It's just him and me, and everything should feel perfect, but I don't trust any of it. It's all too perfect and life never is.

When Meriani decides to run for it after witnessing Thime claim an acceptable sacrifice in front of her father, her friends do not hesitate to go with her. Now, at ten-years-old, Meriani and her friends leave their persecutors behind as they make their way towards the eastern coast of Dumii Neh.

Along the way, Meriani discovers a new friend who has been helping them all this time.

As new adventures and dangers cross their path, Meriani is warned to not venture towards Yendar until Nebat has a change of heart; but Meriani is at a loss as to what to do! When she dares ignore the warning, she and her friends face their greatest challenge yet!
