An imaginative retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale set in a wintry fantasy world. Miryem, the daughter of a moneylender, hardens her heart to collect the debts her father cannot and earns a reputation for turning silver into gold. A rash boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk, icy fey creatures, altering her fate and that of two kingdoms. With two unlikely allies, she confronts an impossible challenge and uncovers a secret threatening both human and Staryk lands.
