YA
Exiled from Watersmeet by its xenophobic leader, Abisina travels south with her loyal centaur, faun, dwarf, and human companions to try to build a more inclusive home in once-repressive Vranlyn. Along the way she discovers she herself is a centaur shape-shifter. The messages of tolerance are heavy-handed, but readers invested in the Watersmeet characters will enjoy their progress.
