Commanded to turn a room full of straw into gold or face death, Serilda prepares herself for an untimely execution. Whilst helping two forest creatures hide from the wicked Erlking one night, she weaves a story about being able to spin straw into gold – an outlandish lie that sees her locked in a castle as the dark king’s prisoner. Serilda is an outcast in her village but she’s always had a talent for spinning stories. Rooted in the story’s Germanic origins, Gilded centres on a poor miller’s daughter who befriends a mysterious gold spinner after she’s caught in the clutches of a sinister king. If you love losing yourself in classic fairytale retellings, there’s no book more perfect than Marissa Meyer’s Gilded – a dark and enchanting reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin.
