Fantasy series Normal people becoming gods on "earth"

Fantasy series of 3-5 books. I was attracted to them by the beautiful cover art that featured the different "gods" in all white clothing with gold accents and jewelry.
The first book focuses on a young woman from a simple village who is selected to be tested, and is then chosen by the gods to receive powers. She receives the powers of flight and uses it to learn more about their lands and help save a clan of bird people. There is another "god" who is attracted to her and persistent in his attempts to woo her.
There is also a ranger style character who is missing memories, but doesn't trust the "gods".
I know the ending shows some sort of subterfuge from the "gods" and their chosen people are being used for something malicious.

This sounds a little like Priestess of the white and sequels, by Trudi Canavan.
