"Storytelling at its epic best." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Best-selling author Eoin Colfer and award-winning illustrator P.J. Lynch deliver a beautifully rendered, original myth about a shapeshifting witch who must save the love of her life and defend her magical woodland home from a cunning enemy. In the heart of an ancient forest, three fairy witches guard the Creedon Stone, the source of all magic. Crow-like Scrawb leads the birds, and sharp-toothed Hackle the wolves. The youngest witch, Deerheart, who can shapeshift into a speckled red deer, has been charged with killing dangerous humans. She has never seen a human--until she sets eyes on young Halvar and can't look away. Love sparks between the two, interfering with Deerheart's duty to eliminate humans to protect the forest. When Lord Vollug's shadowy plans come to light, their love is imperiled, along with the entire Creedon Wood. Now Deerheart must discover fierce inner strength if she is to save her love and her home. Eoin Colfer's narrative, shimmering with witch power and a reverence for the forest and its inhabitants, together with P.J. Lynch's inviting illustrations, bring to life this brand-new story that is as mythical and spellbinding as a centuries-old legend.
