About this ebook
"We'll try again. What choice have we?"
In the village near Dyer's Hill, no children have been carried to term in years. The land is the most fertile in the known world, yet a curse hangs over it, affecting all who venture to it, live on it, till its soil. Sometimes the greatest fertility comes from greatest tragedies.
Losing her child to the curse hanging over Dyer's Hill nearly destroyed the peasant girl Liesa. Now, she has one chance to put this dark magic to rest. On the eve of Autumn Mark, she must stand against those who laid the curse, but will her courage be enough to end the spell?
With "When Voices are Heard on the Green," Daniel R. Robichaud uses grimdark fantasy to weave a compelling spell of his own, a dark tale about hope and responsibility, set upon a mythic backdrop. (4500 words)

And the dews of night arise;
Your spring and your day is wasted in play,
