The Roar of Smoke — Candace Carrabus

Tressida is a smoke-spinner, a meldborn. It's a lethal legacy, a forbidden force. Daughter of Crone and Sage, by law she should have been killed at birth. Now she's seventeen, wanting only to be a member of her land's vanished Horseguard and discovering she is more than she ever knew as first her eyes and then her hair turn to smoke. Just as she learns she can fulfill her dream of working with horses, her talent awakens an ancient and deadly feud. On one side -- those claiming the honor of destroying a meldborn. On the other -- those intending to use her for their own ends. Sida must master her talent in order to save herself and those she loves. Is she strong enough? Or will the roar of smoke consume her?
