When kindergartener Oona Robinson comes home with a swan, it's hardly the first enchanted animal to visit the Castle in Kilkenny...but it sure poops a lot. Her teen brother, Aiden, helps set up an extra bedroom with plenty of straw and a blue kiddie pool. And he's going to tell their mum, really he is, just she's awfully stressed right now.
Maura Robinson has money trouble. Her ex-husband is only paying for four children, but she's raising a fifth while her friend Saba is stuck in deer form. Besides, she's getting troubling reports from school because her other son won't stop pretending to be a dinosaur.
But when Saba steps up to give Maura some wealth, there are real-world consequences for the Fae gift. Maura and Aiden might both need to trust someone enough to ask for help... before their newfound family is broken apart.
Read now, to visit an ancient castle, filled with fairy tales, found family, and not-so-helpful enchanted animals.
