What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I vaguely remember the main character (who is a girl) name being Marie maybe? Or some thing similar. She is a mix of the the tree people and scratchers. Her dad was a tree person and her mom was a scratcher but also one of the healers. Something happens I can’t remember how but her mom dies and the scratcher group scatters as she was supposed to take over as “healer”. The l male scratchers need healing from the healer every month (maybe I can’t remember how often) or they get violent.i believe they harness the sun to do so. The women just get depressed. She ends up getting a dog companion as it wanders its way to her. He’s a German shepherd. The tree peoples dogs “choose” them and bond with their soul. There’s also a side story happening where a guy I think he represents death is destroying the forest because he takes the Pelts of other animals and joins them with himself. It creates a sickness through the land. I vaguely remember them being called skin stealers or something similar. This group of people eventually sets fire to the forest to drive the tree people out because death wants to take over the world. Which leads the tree people and scratchers to join up and find new land. There’s also different people groups that bond with different things. Like a man bonded with a lynx and in the third book people bonded with horses.

It’s a three book series but I remember a fourth book being written during the time and those people bonded with wales. One the books covers depicts I do believe a cat of some sort and fire. I read this book a handful of years ago. I think right before Covid. But I’m not sure if it was new then or not.

I’ve tried Google search with multiple different descriptions but to no avail.

Thanks!
