Shapeshifter's Quest is a 2005 young adult novel by American author Dena Landon.

Because of an incident that happened years ago, the King had confined all shapeshifters to the Carlbine forest.

He marked all of the shapeshifters with a magical tattoo on their faces that would kill them if they crossed the boundaries of the forest.

A few days or so later after Syanthe left the forest, she was caught by a caravan of whom she thought to be traders.

Together she and this odd caravan will enter the city and try to get the antidote, but along the way, weird occurrences give more new goals to the travelers.
