He had been waiting all his life, hoping to hear the hare's song. . .
The boy and his family are special. While others hunt the hares, his
family search for leverets orphaned by the hunt and keep them safe. When
the hares begin to move across the land, the boy and his sister know
that their greatest challenge has begun. They must follow and watch and
wait until the time comes for the old queen to leave and her child to
reign in her place. But others are searching for the golden queen of the
hares, a hunter with two hounds, one silver, one black. Can two
children, on their own, keep the golden queen safe from the man and his
hounds?
