I'm not sure of it, but I think this might be Halflight

Thats it, Thank you so much!
i think i read it in the last 3-5 years.
The story (I think) starts with 3ish mage women/girls at some magic school. They are either going back home, or starting the "journeyman" part of their training. But for some reason they are all leaving at a similar time (i think). Its a fantasy settings, very sword and sorcery tropes. I think one might be an "elf" princess and studies healing. The different people get sorted into colored houses/tracks based on their study. And there are some black/grey robes who have something shady going on with this weird curse sweeping the land.
There is something about the healers having a sacred grove, where they heal people in pools. And this curse thing, among other things, puts people into comas, and they are trying to keep them alive in the pools. And the black/grey cloaked people might be experimenting on them. The one who is the healer has someone she cares about in one of the pools, ether a brother or lover.
The primary character leaves, and i don't know why, but she meets up with a shape changer on the road. And i think either someone attacks them, or his people are hunted....And they kind of partner up and travel back to the school to figure out whats going on..Although this might be two different parts in the story and not directly follow.
And the last i remember reading i think some of the main characters were at some kind of military/refugee camp, in a medical tent, and then something bad happens. Cant recall if its an army attack, or a magic attack.
The one who goes back to the school to figure whats going on also has something weird about her magic. I don't know if it doesn't fit the color classifications, or if she has more magic now then she should have. Or something is wonky with her making her special compared to the rest.
The black/grey cloaks are tasked with studying and curing the curse...And so they kind of take over the mage school/guild/whateverItIs and are up to something shady/bad/unethical.
