Rise of the Retics (Rosehaven, Book 1) by T.J. Lantz

There are very few humans in the world who know about the island of Rosehaven, and even fewer who would be willing to step foot there. But for Tyranna, a twelve-year-old girl being hunted for what she is, a shape-shifting Berserker descended from a union of Vikings and Elves, it’s the only place she has a chance at being safe.

Of course, on an island inhabited by Gnomish mad-scientists with excellent insurance, sword-fighting Squirrel-kin who must defend their honor at all costs, competitive Goblin assassins who hate having siblings, and Fairies whose idea of being nice is only mocking half your flaws, “safe” is a relative term.
