The Witch’s Boy by Kelly Barnhill is a children’s fantasy novel published by Piccadilly Press. From the author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon, it tells a magical story about Ned, a boy who survives a terrible river accident that takes his twin brother’s life.

In Ned’s village, people whisper that the wrong boy lived. But when the Bandit King comes searching for the magic protected by Ned’s mother, Ned must find the strength to guard it himself, even when he does not fully understand its power.

Across the enchanted forest lives Aine, the Bandit King’s daughter, who is trying to make sense of her own destiny and her mother’s final words. When Aine and Ned’s paths cross, they must decide whether they can trust each other before conflict between their kingdoms grows into war.
