Killing Hares

E.M. Duffield-Fuller

These are my lands. These are my hills, my valleys, my grass and sky and moon. My hares. My people.

Cerys Steadman was born to protect the land. Bound by earthen magic and a bloodline rooted in tradition. As the village huder, she's expected to serve, to heal, to obey. But after her mother dies saving Mervale from the Iron Crow, Cerys refuses to follow in her footsteps. No husband. No child. No heir. She guards her gift, walking the line between duty and defiance until the omens begin...

A trail of dead hares. A mysterious stranger drifts into her world, corrupted by ironcraft and linked to the darkest part of Cerys's past. A body is found. Whispers spread. And the village is quick to turn. As enemies rise and betrayal spreads, Cerys must decide whether to remain the reluctant daughter of duty or become the huder on her own terms, and reclaim a power long denied.

A story of found family, sisterly love and ancestral legacy, Killing Hares brings to life shapeshifters, dragons and elemental bonds to explore resistance and the quiet magic of becoming your own legend.

'A sumptuous, intricate novel about the ties of family, land, and tradition. Richly imagined and beautifully written, it takes the usual tropes of fantasy fiction and skews them to create something fresh and powerful, filled with humanity'Carly Holmes, author of Crow Face, Doll Face

'A gorgeously wrought novel that has all the best elements of fantasy, rooted in folklore, where charmwives and magic are rife. Huders are the land incarnate, intrinsically bound to the land in all its beauty, power and danger. Killing Hares is both disturbingly familiar in its exploration of the expectation on women to shoulder the burdens of whole communities, and deliciously disruptive in its utter defiance of those expectations'Mari Ellis-Dunning, author of Witsh
