Guardian

Xia Leafsong is the best Templar the Temple of Seven Gods has. When she goes after a shapeshifter called an Azhi, she's nearly killed. The two make a soul-to-soul bond that turns both their lives upside down. Terrible, strange things begin to happen. Things that reflect a catastrophic event that happened 100 years ago. Worse yet, Xia seems to be developing feelings for the Azhi, Sanquility.
