They are called ‘Tinks’, Ranald and his grandfather; descendants of the broken clan of the Dark Fairy. When his grandfather dies, Ranald is left to wander alone, but finds purpose and hope in the mission entrusted to him by the dying old man. The adventure he embarks on, and the people he meets on the way, teaches Ranald a great deal both about his own clan and a lot more about himself.
