A gripping and suspenseful ecological fairy tale set in old Ireland, from two legendary Irish children's book-makers.

Three fairy shapeshifter witches are the guardians of the Creedon Stone, the source of all magic, which runs all the way from the middle of the forest to the centre of mother earth. The witches' changeling powers allow the eldest sister, Scrawb, to fight as a crow; the middle sister, Hackle, a wolf; and the youngest, Deerheart, a speckled red doe. When humans come to steal the magic for their own ends, young Deerheart must step up and discover the power within her.

"Deerheart is a masterclass in modern mythmaking... Both reluctant readers and fantasy fans will be spellbound from the first page. This tale highlights that we are deeply connected to, and only temporary guardians of, the world around us, just like Deerheart and her sisters. Deerheart shows us that the most powerful magic of all is the courage to listen to the truth we find within our hearts." - Inis
