Priestess of the White - Trudi Canavan

Part 1 of a part 5 story. The core story involves a young woman named Auraya, 5 gods, a dreamweaver named Leiard, and the different races of this country. In the past a huge battle of the gods had taken place and only 5 gods survived. They formed a religion whose clergy wear white and have some magical talents. Occasionally the gods make an appearance to their followers. Before them, there were Dreamweavers who are healers with magic. They choose not to follow the gods and so their souls are forfeit.
Enter a third party, considered heathens, who worship false gods and in a belief that the White's gods are false, desire to eradicate the White and their followers.

Story seemed to move relatively slowly, and then suddenly it was over.readable.
Genre-fantasy
recommended for all ages but particularly youth.
