I read a couple books from a trilogy or series of books in the late 1980s. The story was about a group of villages that were being invaded by raiders. They escaped by following a river downstream and settling in another area. They then were trying to get back to their lands. Couldn't ever find the last book, so didn't see how it ended. I think the author's last name started with a Y or Z |

Maybe something by Zelazney? |

Not a Zelazny I know of and I think I got pretty much all he wrote. Thought maybe Chelsea Quinn Yarbro but don't see anything like that in her lists. I do seem to remember a female author writing something along those lines at that time though. |

Ursula Le Guin did a series that sounds similar to that. |

I thought I remembered something like that from Patricia A. McKillip,but it's been so long ago I don't recall. link |

The only ones I can think if associated with your letters are Jane Yolen and Mario Zimmer Bradley. |

Perhaps Diana Wynne Jones' Dalemark Quartet. link First book (chronology) is The Spellcoats which tells of an invasion and the effort to retake the lost land - link Didn't see anything in Yolen's bibliography to match the scenario and don't remember anything like it in Bradley's. |
