Two brothers fell into the river. The wrong one survived.
When Ned and his twin tumble from their raft into a raging river, only Ned survives. The villagers are convinced that the wrong boy lived and spend their time either mocking or ignoring him. Ned spends his time alone and not speaking. But when the Bandit King comes to steal the magic that Ned's mother, Sister Witch, protects, it is Ned that finds a way to keep the magic safe.
The wrong boy will save your life, and you will save his.
Meanwhile, in the enchanted forest that borders Ned's village lives Aine, the practical and resourceful daughter of the Bandit King. She is haunted by her mother's last words to her about "the wrong boy".
When Ned and Aine's paths cross, can they trust each other long enough to stop the war that's beginning between their two kingdoms?
This was a great fantasy story for kids. The elements of magic, adventure, family drama, grief, and friendship are weaved together seamlessly for a story that you can't put down.
