There is a novel that has long been on my “Books I Love” list-a stunning debut novel by Amy Reed. Rannoch doesn't want to fight, but when an assassin murders the hind who raised him, he knows he must confront Sgorr-and fulfill the rest of the prophecy. Meanwhile, Sgorr conquers herd after herd and uses other wildlife as fodder for his militia's training. Rannoch discovers as they travel that he can talk to-and even heal-other animals. An ancient prophecy states that a fawn with an oak leaf-shaped mark on his forehead is destined to free his kind from the ""lord of lies."" When Rannoch is born with such a mark, the elders know to protect him from Sgorr and arrange his escape with a pack of friends. Soon after the novel opens, the deer are fleeing from the power-hungry Lord of the Herd, Sgorr, a buck with a mysterious past who is slowly building a militaristic following. Clement-Davies's suspenseful debut novel centers on a cast of deer, who, like the rabbits in Watership Down, often use their own special vocabulary (deer, for instance, are ""Herla"" an insult to a Herla would be to call him a ""brailah,"" or hedgehog).
