When magic is outlawed,can one shapeshifter find the strength to fight for both her lives? The shifting of shape grew upon her as she grew. As slow and stealthy as a polecat stalking a vole. A twitch of long ears,as yet unseen. The sudden thump of a powerful hind-leg,hers yet not yet hers. The sleekening of the flank. A change in the smell of the earth and the scents on the wind. And then it was fully upon her and she was Hare. Silver Hare - that most magical of all shape-shifters. Loveday Gwynne is a shapeshifter. When she transforms into Hare,she is full of joy,running and leaping through the grass on the moors,a silver hare with a special connection to the silver moon. But as a girl,she must be quiet and stay unnoticed,because the old magic of the shapeshifters is no longer trusted in the village of Penros.
