Publisher Comments:

This is the story of two spinners. The first honed his craft at a stolen wheel, crippling his leg, turning a room full of straw into a glittering dress for his beloved-and losing her.

Synopsis:

A reinvention of the Rumplestiltskin story — one spinner uses a stolen wheel, crippling his leg as he makes straw into a glittering dress for his beloved, whom he loses. A second spinner named Saskia becomes a master spinner — until she too is forced to spin straw into gold. When they meet, a new tale must be spun.
