Search for Arcana (Runners Book 1) by Shannon Wideman

War and farming. It was the only life Sabine had ever known… She was a good farmer, she worked hard, didn’t complain and didn’t attract any attention. She knew what she had to do to survive, until everything changed when enemy soldiers destroyed her farm, killing the remainder of her family. Without her family, Sabine would be given to some soldier and forced to have his babies, building Barta’s next generation of soldiers to fight the never ending civil war. Faced with this new reality, Sabine must accept her fate or flee. Arcana is a land of magic and opportunity. But to get to this mythical place she’ll have to survive the warfront, evading killers, beasts and spies, while making friendships and connections that can help her get to the coast and find a way out of the war torn lands. Search for Arcana is an exciting coming of age epic YA fantasy with a slow burn romance perfect for fans of Throne of Glass and Shadow and Bone!
