Killing Hares

Cerys Steadman was born to protect the land. Bound by magic and a bloodline rooted in tradition, she guards her gift, walking the line between duty and defiance until the omens begin. After her mother dies saving the village from the Iron Crow, Cerys inherits her ancient magic, but she refuses to pass on her burden by having a baby herself, resisting marriage, motherhood, and even the use of her power – except in dire need. When a terrified stranger appears at her door, old tensions erupt. Cerys finds herself more isolated than ever – until she realises she doesn’t have to fight alone.
