Midevil Warrior
does any1 know the name/author of this book?
I read a book in high school and loved it. I have been looking for it for a few years but can’t remember the name or author. I got it at the library of my high school but I don’t know if they would still have it since it has been about 13 years ago. It’s about something like this:
Set in midevil times, a dragon either destroys or is a threat to destroy a village. A girl (princess or something, definately a warrior) goes after the dragon. Something about retrieving a blood red jewel/stone. She ends up killing the dragon by piercing it’s eye with her sword. When the dragon dies, it kind of disappears and the stone appears in it’s place.
I can’t say it is an extremely accurate or detailed explanation, but it’s all I can remember. I do remember that it involved magic, dragons, and intrigue. If you do not know what this book is, do you know where I could search for it at?
Searched every library I can find in three counties and their databases. 
Is it “The Hero and The Crown” by Robin McKinley?
http://www.amazon.com/Hero-Crown-Robin-McKinley/dp/B000IOEPD6/sr=1-1/qid=1167180833/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-8412583-2845536?ie=UTF8&s=books
KcKinley’s thrilling fantasy leads readers on a path of magic and adventure, as a strong-willed princess undertakes a monumentous quest: to free the kingdom of dragons and to restore the long-lost Crown of power. Part One consists of fascinating exposition as we retrace Aerin’s girlhood and youth. The author weaves a tapestry of jealousy, betrayal, and foreign scheming.
We are introduced to: her distant but gentle father, King Arlbeth; her faithful servant, Teka; her beloved older cousin, Tor; and her father’s retired warhorse, Talat. Daring Aerin will need a diverse group of allies for her battles in Part Two.
Drawing upon a multitude of legends and folklore the author has created a story with an unusual protagonist who struggles not only with external threats to the kingdom, but with her own private demons. The people of the City and
even in the countryside regard her with some suspicion and doubt, because her mother, who had died under mysterious circumstances, came from the dreaded North–home of devils both human and otherwise. Aerin’ unique red hair, general clumsiness and disappointing lack of royal Gifts (modest powers used for good) embarrass the Court. But can a mere girl defy the vicious foes of her father’s realm? Can a gawky teenager vanquish dragons, where male warriors have failed? Her most difficult challenges, however, will prove an evil Mage and a malevolent skull. Underlying all this drama she experiences adult love for the first time, but for two different men. How will she resolve the dilemma of her heart and prove worthy to be the next Damarian Queen? Excellent Fantasy Fare!
