Pawn of the Demon Prince" by Charles Moffat

Young Katya Yerovik has been raised in an elven monastery almost as long as she can remember... and her memories before then haunt her as nightmares about her father and herself being chased by a red-eyed horse with fiery hooves. When she reaches adulthood she sets out traveling west towards the Holy City of Kost to try and find her father. Armed with a bow, a sword and some rusty armour she faces the dangers of the road. 

But unknown to Katya she has been a pawn in a game of Milito from since before she was born, and the player is none other than the demon prince Varaziak who has set his sights on the Holy City of Kost.

Accompanied by her friends, Grier the elven wizard and Calvin the gnome warrior, Katya searches for her father and seeks to unravel the mystery of how she came to be raised in an elven monastery.
