The White Road

The White Road is a fantasy novel by American writer Lynn Flewelling, the fifth novel in her Nightrunner series.

Having escaped death and slavery in Plenimar, Alec and Seregil want nothing more than to go back to their nightrunning life in Rhíminee.

Instead they find themselves saddled with Sebrahn, a strange, alchemically created creature—the prophesied "child of no woman".

As Sebrahn will never be accepted in the Sarikali, Seregil and Alec travel over to the Bôkthersa clan to talk to a "dragon friend" for guidance.

They take board Green Lady and Thero creates a pair of brands for each of them, while Seregil forges warrants of ownership for Micum.

Seregil sneaks out and, after encountering captain Rhal, he returns to the cottage and they all break through, but Rieser catches an arrow in his collarbone.
