Mistress of Magic — Susanne L. Lambdin

Separated from her small Raven Clan, Taliesin has to set out on a quest to discover her heritage. Aided by her Raven Sword and Deceiver's Map, Taliesin must journey through a landscape fraught with dragons, Wolfen, and the Hellirin -- darkling fairies who live beneath the ground -- in order to reach Duvalen, the magical Lorian city of the fairies. War has come to Caledonia, however, and several of the gods desire Taliesin's aid in winning the war for their side. It's brother against brother, and Taliesin must learn to control her magic if she is going to control her destiny. The gods of Mt. Helos are in league with the Wolf and Eagle Clans, and Ragnal, the God of War, appears ever closer to bringing about the Age of the Wolf, destroying not only Caladonia, but the Magic Realms as well. One mistake and Taliesin could find herself a prisoner of any of the warring factions…or dead. Can a natural born witch, aided by a powerful sword, succeed in ending the war, or will she be consumed by the dark magic and her own inner-beast and bring about the Age of the Wolf?
