Polymorph is a 1997 novel by Scott Westerfeld.
[edit] Plot
Milica Raznokovic, and that’s not her real name, is a shape-changer, a "polymorph". She hasn't put this talent to any serious use. Indeed she’s spent her life so far partying anonymously, each night in a different body enjoying casual sex and absolutely no personal attachments. She believed herself to be unique, and therefore free of convention's straightjacket. Then she meets another polymorph and this one is much more powerful than she and indeed is not a very nice person at all.
This stranger is the trigger that drags her out of her demimondaine existence and into the real world. In the process she learns just how powerful she too can become.
