Everyone expects miracles from the village huder Cerys Steadman. She can command every living thing in Mervale with her voice, yet still struggles to be heard. After her mother dies saving the village from the Iron Crow, Cerys carries the weight of inherited duty. Bound to the land by ancient magic, she refuses to pass on her burden, resisting marriage, motherhood, and even the use of her power - except in dire need. When a terrified stranger appears at her door and signs of a returning enemy appear, old tensions erupt. Cerys finds herself more isolated than ever - until she realises she doesn't have to fight alone. Rich with folklore, dragons and village politics, it is a tale of resistance and transformation from a rising voice in fantasy fiction. Killing Hares is a compelling high fantasy novel about maternal love, duty and the quiet magic of choosing your own path.
