All magic comes at a price, but love was never part of the bargain
. . . The look he was giving her. Serilda had never been looked at
like that before . . . The intensity. The heat. The raw
astonishment. He was going to kiss her. Cursed by the god of lies,
a miller's daughter has developed a talent for storytelling - but
are all of her tales as false as they appear? When one of Serilda's
stories draws the attention of the devastating Erlking, she finds
herself swept away into a world of enchantment, where ghouls prowl
the earth, and ravens track her every move. The king locks Serilda
in a castle dungeon and orders her to spin straw into gold, or be
killed for lying. In despair, Serilda unwittingly summons a
mysterious young man to her aid. And he agrees to help her, for a
price. But love wasn't meant to be part of the bargain. A
compulsive read, and as bewitchingly good as you'd expect from a YA
bestselling author. You will stay up all night reading this.
'Gilded glitters as brightly as the stories and gold that Serilda
and Gild spin.' Kate Corr (The Corr Sisters), authors of The
Witch's Kiss trilogy and A Throne of Swans duology 'Forget spinning
straw into gold, Meyer can spin words into magic and worlds into
reality.' Alexandra Christo, author of To Kill a Kingdom, Into the
Crooked Place and City of Spells 'The queen of fairy-tale
retellings is back, this time with Rumpelstiltskin as her
inspiration, and the result is a gorgeously intricate tale that
will have readers locked in from the start [...] Meyer weaves an
enchanting tale filled with whimsically magical moments and some
serious suspense.' Booklist 'Meyer explores the power of fiction in
this inventive Rumpelstiltskin reimagining [...] Intricate
worldbuilding and star-crossed romance help temper the Erlking's
brutality [...] well-drawn characters will leave readers craving a
sequel.' Publishers Weekly
