YANightshade series.
Ember trains to fight supernatural entities with a secret order of warriors and magic-wielders. She resists her attraction to mentor Barrow as the order faces betrayal from within and the constant threat of heresy accusations from without. Set in 1400s Scotland, this centuries-prior prequel to Cremer's Nightshade trilogy captures a similar heady blend of fantastic action and forbidden (if unsurprising) romance.
