The Faces of the Wood by Stephanie Kast

Aristah Evermore has been living a life of responsibility, trying to keep her father from falling too far into the darkness. She has long since forgotten what it means to be a Wood Mage, living her life by floating from day to day; yearning for anything but her home. But when she finally steps out of her borders she sees that the lands she was so excited to explore are now turning into darkness. Even hiding in the comfort of the trees won’t help her now. The war between magic and those who fear it is beginning. Aristah has to make unlikely alliances. She must learn how to trust not only those who are willing to help her, but herself, especially if she wants to save everything around her she finds sacred.
