Praise for Spinning Silver A perfect tale .
She will face an impossible challenge and, along with two unlikely allies, uncover a secret that threatens to consume the lands of humans and Staryk alike.
When an ill-advised boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk--grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh--Miryem\'s fate, and that of two kingdoms, will be forever altered.
Hardening her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn Silver into gold.
Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father\'s inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty--until Miryem takes matters into her own hands.
Spinning Silver draws readers deeper into this glittering realm of fantasy, where the boundary between wonder and terror is thinner than a breath, and safety can be stolen as quickly as a kiss.
