Bloodrights — N. Lee Wood

An epic fantasy--a tale of an imperiled kingdom under the throes of a corrupt church, and the return of its rightful ruler...

Born of the royal leaders of Adalon and the White Sea Islands, Antonya Terhune was orphaned as a babe when her wicked uncle usurped her father's rule and invaded her mother's realm. Raised by the Brothers of Blessed Reason, she was educated--unlike most women. But she yearned to be a warrior, for when she left the monastery, she witnessed firsthand how the common people slaved for church and state.
