Book about a young girl who can do magic in a world where only men can do it. The magic is running out in their world because the fairy kingdom is cutting it off from them. She finds familiars who make her more powerful. The man in charge of their magic system was a black slave who gets a lot of ridicule for his ethnicity. Any help would be great!

"Dragonfly" by Ursula K LeGuin has a woman studying magic on an island where that's taboo, and in-universe the world was running out of magic at one time (The Furthest Shore) but maybe not at the time of the "Dragonfly" story (collected in "Legends of Earthsea.")The Wind On Fire trilogy has boy/girl twin heroes who are in a group who, at one point, get captured by a hostile kingdom, and the general who captures them turns out to himself have been an outsider who was kidnapped / enslaved at an earlier time?
(Prior to this, the group left a deteriorating homeland with an emperor who turned out to only be a figurehead, himself terrorized by bureaucrats, and who then joined his people in the exodus but as a cowhand rather than any kind of powerful figure.)
