Unnatural Issue

Unnatural Issue by Mercedes Lackey, 361 pages

Suzanne Whitestone’s father has always ignored her presence. Her mother died in childbirth and her father blamed her so Suzanne has been treated like a servant in her own home. This meant that she had to learn to control her magic on her own, with the help of a very powerful elemental. Unfortunately, now that Suzanne is grown, her father has decided he has plans for her, dark and unnatural. Suzanne, realizing something isn’t right, runs away and finds other magical help, but it may not be enough to dissuade her father from his evil plan.
