The Oddling Prince

In the ancient moors of Scotland, the ailing king of Calidon faces a curse linked to an unremovable ring, with a mysterious fey stranger offering help but harboring secrets that could jeopardize the royal family. The kingdom's salvation rests on two young men from vastly different backgrounds: Aric, the beloved heir, and Albaric, a noble yet out-of-place individual. In "The Oddling Prince," Nancy Springer delves into the complexities of brotherhood, exploring themes of love, loyalty, and the darkness within the human heart amidst looming conflict and fate.
