Wench
(Book)

Tanya broke up her first fight at 11. By the time she was a teenager she knew everything about the tavern, and she could run it with her eyes closed. She'd never let anyone-- a drunkard or a captain of the queen's guard-- take advantage of her. But when her guardian dies, she might lose it all: the bar, her home, her purpose in life. She heads out on a quest to petition the queen to keep the tavern in her name-- while dodging unscrupulous guards, a band of thieves, and a powerful, enchanted feather that seems drawn to her. -- adapted from jacket
