I read a book ages ago that started off with a pregnant woman dying. All I remember after that is that she lived with shapeshifting dragons until she was forced to leave, and found more humans. I vaguely remember something about the humans being magical, but that's about it. I read this book roughly 14 years ago, but it could well be older than that.

    Just reading the headline made me think of Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing with Dragons, but the rest of the question probably rules that out.

  • Rachel Hartman's Seraphina has shapeshifting dragons who pass as human, and a young woman protagonist, but (2012) it's too recent.

The Elvenbane by Andre Norton and Mercedes Lackey, perhaps?

    YES! That is one of my favorite books, I actually own the trilogy. Ms. Lackey wrote two more with Andre Norton. In order, the Halfblood Chronicles includes: The Elvenbane, Elvenblood, and Elvenborn. I had to wait a long time for that last one...but they finally came out with it and it's pretty good.

    @DawnDeschain Even though the other answer has already been accepted, if you would turn your comment into an answer, it would add valuable information.

    As a caution, the third book ends on a huge cliffhanger and the forth book may or may not ever be released.

  • Sorry if I offended. I figured quoting the text from Wikipedia would be helpful for other people to find it.
