Can a woman gifted with the power of healing survive in a world that burns what it cannot understand?

Cornwall, 1628. A young girl guards a dangerous secret β€” she can leave her body and fly.

Steeped in herbal lore and forbidden spells, the girl becomes a woman, while across the land, whispers of witchcraft turn deadly.

When witchfinder Matthew Hopkins sets out to hunt her down, their meeting will change the course of history. In a world that fears what it cannot explain, a story shared is the most potent magic of all.

The Names of a Hare is an enthralling tale of mystery and power, beautifully intertwining historical intrigue with the mystic forces of legend.
