Description
Spinning Silver draws readers into a mesmerizing fantasy world where the line between wonder and terror is as thin as a breath, and safety can vanish as quickly as a kiss. Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father’s inability to collect debts has left their family on the brink of poverty—until Miryem decides to take control. With a hardened heart, she claims what is owed and earns a reputation for turning silver into gold.
An ill-advised boast catches the attention of the king of the Staryk—grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh—forever altering Miryem’s fate and that of two kingdoms. Tasked with an impossible challenge by the nameless king, Miryem unwittingly entangles a peasant girl, Wanda, and the unhappy daughter of a local lord who plans to marry his child to the dashing young tsar.
But Tsar Mirnatius is not what he appears to be. The secret he harbors threatens to engulf both human and Staryk lands. Faced with deadly choices, Miryem and her two unlikely allies embark on a desperate quest that tests the limits of sacrifice, power, and love.
Channeling the vibrant essence of myth and fairy tale, Spinning Silver weaves a rich, magical tapestry that readers will want to revisit time and time again.
