Books like Moonsinger's quest by Andre Norton
Farree, a hunchbacked orphan living in the lawless slums of a distant world on the edge of the known galaxy, bonds with a war-beast he rescues from starvation. Together, they develop a telepathic connection that guides Farree into a perilous quest for identity.
In the second installment, Farree learns that he is the sole survivor of the ancient Little People, the Faery Folk, and discovers a mysterious wingset on a frontier outpost. These wings are cut from animals resembling his own kind, pointing to the location of his birth.
With the help of fellow star-traveler Krip Vorlund and psychic sorceress Lady Maelen, Farree pursues the origin of the wings while confronting hostile forces intent on finding, and exploiting, his heritage. Now he must protect his hidden family and the people he no longer remembers, who hold the key to his destiny.
