This was a bit unusual and ultimately a lovely take on "Beauty and the Beast". My heart broke for both Naef (who insisted on being called Knife) and Aerie was an enchanted prince. To help his cousin, who was courting Naef's sister, Aerie asked Naef to be his companion on his island for a year and then, upon completion of a final task, he would return home a wealthy man. Over the course of the year, they both changed and grew.
