Books like The oddling prince by Nancy Springer
The ancient moors of Scotland set the stage for a perilous tale in the kingdom of Calidon, where a dying king is haunted by a cursed ring. A mysterious fey stranger appears, hoping to save him while carrying a secret that could shatter the royal family.
The kingdom’s hope rests on two brothers raised in very different worlds. Aric, the beloved heir to Calidon’s throne, and Albaric, a noble of unclear lineage who feels out of place, must unite to confront looming war, treacherous fates, and a mysterious threat. Their love and loyalty shatter time, tide, and territorial borders, challenging both enemies and destiny.
Nancy Springer weaves a fantasy narrative that explores the darkness of the human heart and its relentless capacity for love, with a focus on familial bonds and the struggle between fate and freedom.
