Promised, by Caragh M. O'Brien (2012)

Gaia notched her arrow and drew back the taut string of her bow.

Book 3 of The Birthmarked Trilogy begins where Prized left off.  Gaia is the Matrarc of the people who fled Sylum.  They have crossed the Wastelands and are back at the Enclave.  

"What was I thinking, bringing us all here?" she said.  "This is insane."

"It wasn't all your decision, remember?  And it's not insane," he said.  "It's less insane than staying to watch us all die off in Sylum.  Not one girl born this past year.  Not one."

Not only does Gaia need to ask the Protectorate for refuge, she learns that her former home has changed.
