I think you need to explain this more -

Would it help us to know whose point of view the reader will be exposed to? If it's first person or limited third, the reader may think that character is the protagonist.

With the little known at this point, I would think the person (your female MC) on the quest for truth is the protagonist. Unless there is a reason to back her obstacles in the story, then she might be the antagonist out to reveal the truth which the reader agrees should be kept hidden.
