I've been looking around for books with shifter MCs but couldn't really find much that would fit my criteria. Especially nothing recent. So I wanted to ask if you might know.
In short I am looking for a shifter MC who can shift into another form (for example a dragon). Or an animal (let's say dragon) who can shift into a humanoid form is also acceptable. Important is that this form is well suited for fighting (again dragons) so turning into a tree is not desired. And yes, I really like dragons but some other form is also okey.
One of the issues I ran into when I did the search is that many of those books were very YA or purely romance focused which is not what I am looking for. Romance itself is okey (even if there is a lot of it) but there should be something besides it as well. But I really want to avoid any YA trope, I am looking for a more adult focused book with a serious plot/tone. Ideally it should feature some morally grey characters as well. Also I don't like too many POVs, 1-2 is ok and 3 is a maximum. And lastly, I don't really like those D&D stories about dragons from the 80s and 90s and looking for something more modern (2000+). Setting either urban fantasy or traditional fantasy.
I am open to both, male and female MCs. (Though would like more male MC suggestions)
Thanks a lot!

I understand how it would be difficult to find. You could read the [the cloud road](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9461562) by Martha wells. It is not my favourite but it does fit the bill.
Try Meghan Doidge’s Adept Universe series. Lots of shape shifters. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00540L5PA/about?ingress=0&visitId=0e773754-8baf-45d9-84a3-0b7ad72bd822
