I can't for the life of me remember the title of this book. There is an outcast female who is not like the others of her village (who reside in a crevice) she can shape-shifting into multiple different forms and when she has to leave everything she knows. I believe this is a series with the girl going to a seaside cliff type village next.

1@DafyddNZ it seems very likely this is The Song of Mavin Manyshaped. Are you going to post that as an answer?– John RennieCommented Oct 25, 2023 at 4:30

1Hi Tammy. If you're remembering the Mavin Manyshaped books she flees the village with her brother Mertyn to escape being gang raped by the village elders. In the second book Mavin goes to a village built on the side of the cliff and occupied by people called Birders.– John RennieCommented Oct 25, 2023 at 6:09
