I read this years ago and cannot find it. The perspective character is a girl from the beleaguered town who turns out to be magic.

**Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Uprooted by Naomi Novik?

If not, can you be more specific about reading it 'years ago' so we have a rough timeframe - are we talking something like 5 years ago or 20 years ago?

Barefoot on the Wind might be a possibility too, if it's not Uprooted.
