Running Toward Illumia #2
Lost, Part 2 of Running Toward Illumia
Where do the Banned go when home’s no longer home?
Forced to take the unicorn back to Illumia, the land her family was exiled from, Astrea finds herself more alone than ever. The tribe has disowned her for taking their last hope of meat, and she fears she’ll never be able to return.
Along the way she's joined by a new travel companion — Gander, an elf with a handsome smile and a heart full of secrets.
Astrea's strength is waning, and as the lies surrounding her begin to unravel, she finds herself more and more entangled in the politics of Illumia. It’s everything Astrea never wanted.
Though she longs for home, how can she ever go back?
It seems that everything, even the forest she's always called home, is conspiring to push her out or kill her in the process.

Great follow up from part one. The dangers--and the mysteries--intensify as Astrea and the unicorn she saved make their way through the forest. The addition of the elf, Gander, brings additional spice to the mix.
There are moments of humour to lighten the mood and show how the relationships between the characters are developing.
Now I'm looking forward to part three!

Lost is book 2 in Anel Leya's Running Toward Illumia series. Astrea is in big trouble. She has taken Windmane, the unicorn she had tracked and hunted, from her tribe that lived banished within the Mist. The Banned have warned her never to return, certain her actions condemned them to starve. She had fled as quickly as she could, unaware a trap lay in wait. She had heard tales of ogres in the Mist, but thought their eating habits were thought to be but a tale to scare children into submission. How wrong she had been. Bound and captured her only hope comes from Gander, a somewhat shifty elf, but his interest seemed only to be in saving the unicorn. He said this beast was this charge, and for the moment they all had the same goal, escaping the Mist and reaching Illumia. A hidden secret is revealed, there is more at stake than reaching Illumia, once she arrives there is a destiny awaiting, that is if she arrives.
Lost is book 2 in Anel Leya's Running Toward Illumia series it is charming with a subtle urgency that drives the reader onwards through the short tale. Having read Banned, book one in the Running Toward Illumia, series I can confirm that this book picks up exactly where the last one left off, and despite being a short read there is no lack of danger, suspense, or questions as Astrea continues on her destined path. Lost is an enjoyable short tale which makes for a perfect quick read and paves the way for the next book.

Angel does it again in this installment of her Running Toward Illumia series. The tension mounts as Astrea and Windmane race to get to Illumia before time runs out. Along for the ride is an elf named Gander. The trio all hold secrets they refuse to share with the others and several times it seems the conflict will come to a point (literally, as there is a unicorn involved here.) By the end, Astrea gets some of the answers she seeks, but are they worth it?
Come find out for youself when you pick up Book 2 of Running Toward Illumia.
