There's a lone girl heroine with her moon jewel and...possibly a monkey sidekick? Some kind of little animal friend, and she's on her way to an ancient temple or protecting it from invaders, and some men come and they don't believe in her religion? or something? But she ends up befriending one of them to work together against some other evil?
I feel like it maybe hits some of the same buttons as Tombs of Atuan? But it's got to be at least twenty-five years since I've read it, hence all the ???? I just reread it a lot as a 12-14 year old, and shipped the textually totally platonic teenage girl with her new man friend.
