Arrows of the Queen (The Heralds of Valdemar Book 1) by Mercedes Lackey
Talia is a girl of the Holderfolk Unloved and unwanted with no say in her life and her only relief is in reading. When her family decides to marry her off she runs away and encounters a Companion one of the mysterious horses of the Heralds the Queen’s roaming peacekeepers. The Companion takes her back to the Collegium of Heralds were she find he has chosen her to fill the role of Queen’s Own (The conscience of the queen) Unprepared she finds herself trying to unravel a conspiracy to overthrow the queen and destroy the heralds.
I liked this book the story mostly focused on how Talia settles into the Collegium and comes out of her shell to make friends. The story was very engaging and because the book is short had me watching the pages run out and wanting more.

Arrows of the Queen I believe is the very first of the Valdemar series that Mercedes Lackey has published. Good place to start the series. It has gone far since then, as has the author.
