You have the Wolves who change gender every full moon but require human eggs (yes, human have eggs in this world) to permanently settle their gender. To keep the peace, the humans (a matriarchal society) sacrifice two eggs a month to the wolves so as to avoid war.
The current heir to the wolf throne, Petigre, wishes to settle as a female but the Wolves have never had a female leader before so her father forbids it.
After discovering that her father is planning to lock her up until her 18th birthday and force her to turn male Petigre and Rum run away.
In this world, there are also creatures called Immortui who are immortal humans who have been killed but buried in what I assume is a magic swamp, which basically turns them into zombie like beings. It is used as a punishment for crime.
There is magic and intrigue and politics and I can see a lot of potential with this story, characters and world building.
