Certainly!
In the world, people are born to different tribes, families, groups, villages, etc, where they have a human form and an animal form, which is largely dependent on their region. The book takes place in the North of a fictional land based on our own world, where the main peoples are the Tiger, the Wolf, the Deer and the Bear, but there are also migratory Horse folk and Coyotes.
Further south, there are Lions, Hyenas, Snakes, Old Crocodile, etc.
They can Step between shapes because they have a soul of a human, and one of the animal species they're associated with, which, with the cycle of life and death, spends a lifetime as a dumb animal, and then one as one of the shapeshifters, and back again.
The main character is a girl in a wolf pack whose mother is revealed very early on to be of the Tiger people. Most people learn to Step between human and their animal form, but due to her parentage, she can step between wolf, tiger and human.
This is a source of ... problems for her, because she's expected to choose between one of the animal forms, her mother's tribe, who she has never met, or her father's. Smaller conflicts are concentrated strongly on her problems with this and her impending decision -- which soul to cut away. Since she lives with her father's people, she's expected to cut the tiger away and be a wolf, but things don't always go according to plan with these things.
Meanwhile, there's an over-arcing plot happening with your typical Big Disaster, which involve the rest of the cast (a snake man who travels north to find out what's going to come re: the disaster, a prince and his companion from the south who are heading north to seek the help of the wolves for their own war in their homeland due to their ability to make iron). Lots of the main conflict in the first book is between the wolves, the tigers and the protagonist who is in the middle of it, but there is definitely something bigger at play.
I really enjoyed the first book, but I've yet to go onto the second (The Hyena and the Hawk, I think) but I quite liked the Hyena character from the first book, so that's all good.
It's probably not for everybody, but I found it to be nicely written, mature for the subject matter and the characters were pretty likeable, generally speaking. The Snake ended up being my favourite, but I didn't have a particular dislike of anybody who I wasn't supposed to.
UK time. Sorry for timezone-related delays in responses. They/Them.
