Warrior Princess series.
Accepting her destiny as the gods' chosen warrior, Branwen sets out on a quest to rescue an imprisoned god. There are moments of clumsy teen angst, but at its best, the book wholeheartedly embraces high-fantasy mythos in thrilling encounters with gods and warriors. Though the haughty romantic lead and supporting cast are underdeveloped, Branwen's bond with her mystical guide Blodwedd shines.

YA
Warrior Princess series.
"One day, perhaps, you will hear my name again. People may speak of me as the Savior of Brython--because that is, apparently, my destiny." Branwen, guided by a messenger of ancient earth spirit Govannon, must make allies of her foes to save the kingdom from Saxons. Like the first Warrior Princess book, this is a well-plotted, if overwritten, historical fantasy.
