Flowerheart by Cathering Bakewell
Clara is devastated to learn that she will not be joining the Council because her magically powers are to volatile. She hasn't been able to control them since she got them, and she doesn't know why. To add insult to injury, her old best friend Xavier is there with the Council - as part of the Council - when she receives the bad news. Who is she if she doesn't have her magic?
