What this book is about
In the Scottish Highlands, a red deer named Rannoch is born with a fawn-shaped birthmark fulfilling an ancient prophecy. As he grows, facing exile, danger, and the corruption of the herd, he must decide whether to accept his destiny. Clement-Davies's animal epic is ambitious, Shakespearean in its themes, and more violent than most animal fantasy.
