Priestess of the White

Auraya, a strongly Gifted girl, is chosen to become one of the White, the five gods' most powerful servants and leaders of the Circlian religion in Northern Ithania.

But Auraya has little time to adapt to here powers. Northern Ithania is about to come under attack from the south, where powerful sorcerers are raising an army. These men and women are leaders of the Pentadrian religion and hold that theirs is in the only true religion.

Auraya and her fellow White must unite Northern Ithania and meet the Pentadrians in battle.

This is a quick, easy read, with nothing offensive or surprising. The basic plot of warring gods and magical humans is a stock one for fantasy novels. That the protagonist is female and the conflict between the two very similar religions give a more modern twist but this is not enough to lift the book above its paint-by-numbers story and writing.
