Crown of Stars — Rachel Devenish Ford

The elders are missing. A strange power hovers. The resistance continues. After a great battle with the Desert King, Isika has returned to the Royal City of Maween to find that the elders have vanished without a trace. Ben is the only one with any sense of them at all. He embarks with the seekers on a quest to find the elders, but soon a foreign malevolent power makes itself known.Six elders wake up in six unfamiliar places, flung out of their lives by a mysterious force. Disoriented and afraid, they must discover what has happened to them and survive in their new surroundings. Estranged from the source of power in Maween, will they have the strength to keep themselves safe and find their ways home? Or, like the queen before them, will they be lost forever?
