From the Unknown Lands: Book 1 - From the Unknown Lands Carrie Lange

Discover the world of Oren - where plants and animals talk, and gods and monsters are real.

Miel and her brother Luminor have been raised by the peaceful Shara, but inside them runs the blood - and magic - of the ruthless Janai, a warrior race intent on conquering the Shara and all Oren. For Miel, a healer, keeping her Janai instincts at bay is easy, but for Luminor those instincts are always prowling just below the surface of his warrior heart, struggling to break free.

After Miel loses everything during a Janai raid - her parents, her home, even Luminor - she wrestles with the truth about her brother's role in the attack. Was he a victim...or was he the leader? Wondering if she'll ever see her parents or brother again, she must journey to a strange land and try to make a new home. Yet, even as she flees one danger, she runs headlong into another, even darker one.

She'll need more than courage to survive in this new world full of new dangers and a different kind of magic.
