Being a matriarch’s child protects clever, disabled Tel from deadly politics in their isolated hunter-gatherer tribe. When puberty forces Tel’s gender-neutral body to Change, the young woman discovers two unwanted abilities inherited from her unknown father. Shapeshifting into a weak, bare-skinned human is shameful enough to a furred and fanged huntress. Raising the dead is the worst of forbidden magics…but Tel will need both gifts when an implacable enemy threatens her entire tribe.
Think Steven Brust’s Taltos & Dragaera novels + N.K. Jemisin’s Inheritance trilogy, with a dash of Andre Norton and Patricia McKillip.
