The Taellaneth Series by Vanessa Nelson

In a world where humans, magic users and Shifkin, AKA shapeshifters, co-exist on shaky ground, problems arise that threaten the already fragile relationships. It falls to Arrow, the story’s heroine, to save the day.

Born of mixed heritage, Arrow is considered an abomination. In Taellaneth, the Erith despise her—the girl with a human face and silver sparks in her eyes. Arrow is powerful and clever, but she conceals her true strength and poses as a mid-range magic user.
