Gold Spun

320 pages
Expected publication: June 8th 2021 by CamCat Books
If Nor can’t spin gold, she can always spin lies.
When seventeen-year-old Nor rescues a captured faerie in the woods, he gifts her with a magical golden thread she can use to summon him for a favor. Instead, Nor uses it for a con—to convince villagers to buy straw that can be transformed into gold. Her trick works a little too well, attracting the suspicion of Prince Casper, who hates nobody more than a liar. Intent on punishing Nor, he demands that she spin a room of straw into gold and as her reward, he will marry her. Should she refuse or fail, the consequences will be dire.
I am a sucker for a stunning cover! I can just imagine what this looks like in hardcover. I love the idea of this story, a rumplestiltskin retelling. I am also a sucker for a retelling…so excited for this one!
See what book Michelle wants to spin to gold! Share on X

I don’t really know the original rumplestilsken story, but this sounds interesting. Lovely cover.
That cover is glorious! And this might 1 be my first Rumplestilskin retelling!!
This sounds so good! It’s new to me and I’m definitely adding it to my TBR. Thanks for sharing:-)
Ooh nice! I love fairy tale retellings! I think I heard of this one too…I can’t recall. I feel like I’ve heard of a slew of Rumpelstiltskin retellings lately! Lol. Hope you enjoy this one once you get to read it!
Here’s my WoW
Have a GREAT day!

Looks lovely!
I’ve had my eye on this book too. The fairy tale of Rumplestiltskin is one of my favorites so I’d love to read this one!
