So I've got a book in mind. It's part of a series that has...four books, I think, but don't quote me on that.
There's a girl pretending to be a boy whose name is Job. Job is also a fire-user, and a street urchin - I believe, though I can't be sure, that she's one of the last fire-users in the world if not the last. Aside, of course, from the Fire Queen, whose name begins with a Z (I think), and who is the antagonist of the story. There's an earth-person and a water-person as well, though they don't show up until later in the series, and a girl who travels with a caravan: her name is Luriel or Lurien or something similar to that, she's the wind-user, she plays a flute and she's blind.
The basic plot is that there were once four 'queens', and (I think) they formed a Queen's Knot or something? That's a bit fuzzy in my mind. Anyway. The Fire Queen killed off or got rid of the other three to have all the power, and since then she's been killing off kids with magic so that she can keep it all to herself. These four need to meet up and fix it, basically.
So if anyone else knows what these books are, please remind me, because I want to reread them and it's driving me nuts.

Could the name be jobber instead of job? if so it may be New Moon Book One of the Oran Trilogy by Midori Snyder.
