ABANDONED. Fantasy. It’s about a girl who has some sort of magic powers from a stone inside her that people try to take from her. She has the stone to full fill her purpose but we don’t know what that is. Spoilers ahead.

This is series and it ends with her losing her power because she completes her purpose by uncovering a small tree in the desert. I read it like 4 years ago and it seemed a couple years old but pretty new.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson? I've read this and I remember the details you describe.
