The Changeling Sea by Patricia A. McKillip

He knows only that he must escape the constant taunting and bullying of his cruel cousin Ondo, and he is willing to risk confronting even Giants and Dorig in order to do so. But Gair, the middle child, is convinced that he has no Gift and is ordinary. Armed with their unique psychic Gifts, two of the children have fewer fears than most people who dare to venture into the open. The leader of Garholt has three children who know well the precautions that must be taken to avoid Giants and Dorig. Powerful Giants, with extraordinary magical machines, clumsily roam the land, while silent Dorig, who possess devious shape shifting abilities, terrify anyone unlucky enough to happen upon them. Though the Moor is enchantingly beautiful, it holds great perils for the people who inhabit it.
