But when a Bandit King comes to steal the magic Ned's mother, a witch, is meant to protect, it's Ned who safeguards the magic and summons the strength to protect his family and community.

Meanwhile, across the enchanted forest that borders Ned's village lives Áine, the resourceful and pragmatic daughter of the Bandit King, who is haunted by her mother's last wordsto her: The wrong boy will save your life and you will save his. When Áine's and Ned's paths cross, can they trust each other long enough to stop the war that's about to boil over between their two kingdoms?
