Spun: A Dark Rumpelstiltskin Retelling
She spun straw into gold. He spun her into something far more dangerous.
The summer the river runs dry, Agnes's drunken father makes one boast to the wrong man: his daughter can spin straw into gold. By morning she is locked in a castle tower with a room full of straw, a spinning wheel, and a king who has made it clear what happens to girls who disappoint him. She is not the first to stand in that room.
At midnight, a stranger steps out of the shadows. He has amber eyes and hands with too many joints, and he has been watching her from the edge of the forest for longer than she knows. He can save her life, but every night costs more than the last. First her mother's necklace. Then a king's ring. Then a promise she was sure she would never have to keep.
A year later Agnes is a queen with a newborn son, and the stranger has come to collect. She has three nights to learn a name no one has ever spoken. To save her child, she must destroy the only one who ever truly saw her.
A dark, sensual retelling of Rumpelstiltskin for adult readers. Book One of Darker than Grimm.
