The Hidden Stars (Rune of Unmaking, #1)

Many years ago there was a war, a war that ended in mutual destruction for both parties. This was a magical war. Now those who survived live with the aftermath. One of the new powers is the Empress Ouriana, proclaiming herself the Divine Incarnation of the Devouring Moon, using black magic to control her people and trying to control more and more of the world.

There's a prophesied one, who may be a young girl, who it is hoped will defeat the empress, but the empress knows about the prophecy and is determined to stop her. A band of heroes are determined to fight for the prophecy.

Yes parts of it were a bit predictable but I enjoyed the read.
