Her Quest for the Lance — M.L. Rigdon

Medra-Xur is haunted by a relentless call to restore Chi, her nation's capitol, and the resurrection of its abandoned Temple. She hides an even greater yearning for the one man in Omirr she cannot have, the priest, her childhood friend, Gryff of Sha. Born into a family gifted with extraordinary talents, Medra must hide the fact that she has none -- only a fierce intelligence, physical beauty, courage in combat -- and an unintentional penchant for making others angry. Her road to Chi's restoration is paved with heartache, disappointment, and obstacles laid by a devious enemy, but Medra will not stop, even though her goal of restoring the Temple in Chi means an end to her most secret dream -- to gain the love and respect of a man she can never have.
