Pennyroyal Academy by M A Larson
A girl arrives in a bustling kingdom with no name and no idea why she is there, only to find herself at the centre of a world at war. She enlists at Pennyroyal Academy, where she is trained to battle the two great menaces: witches and dragons. There she must endure a harsh training regimen under the steel glare of her Fairy Drillsergeant.
