Perfect for you if...

You love fairy tale retellings that add real weight and complexity to the original story, not just a fresh coat of paint.
You're drawn to fantasy where magic has genuine costs and the stakes feel personal, not just world-ending.
You want a book with multiple strong female characters whose perspectives matter equally to the plot.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer straightforward narratives with a single protagonist. This weaves together three voices and requires you to piece together how their stories connect.
You're looking for romance as the central plot. The love threads here are slow-burn and secondary to the larger magical conflict.
You like your fantasy light and escapist. This book explores poverty, debt, and the ways desperation drives people to dangerous choices.

About this book

Spinning Silver is a fantasy novel that reimagines the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale. The story follows Miryem, daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, whose family faces poverty after her father fails to collect debts. Miryem takes control of the situation and gains a reputation for turning silver into gold. When an ill-advised boast attracts the attention of the king of the Staryk—fey creatures of ice—Miryem's fate and that of two kingdoms are fundamentally changed. Miryem faces an impossible challenge and, alongside two unlikely allies, discovers a secret that threatens both human and Staryk lands. The novel explores the boundary between wonder and terror, set in a glittering fantasy realm. The book includes a bonus short story titled "Hoodwinked."
