(2) 4-6 After the accident that killed his twin brother, Ned stutters badly, so he assists his mother with the magic entrusted to her. When the magic is threatened, Ned flees with it and encounters confident and crafty Áine. Together they head off on a journey to save their kingdoms, their families, and the world. This atmospheric, elegantly told literary fairy tale sustains and subverts the usual tropes.
