A novel by Victoria McCombs
His shadowed face lit by flames, Rumpelstiltskin is his name...
Every child born in Westfallen has a Gift, until Cosette is born without. To appease her, her storytelling father spins a tale of how she can spin straw into gold, and entertains the local tavern with the fantasy.
Harmless, until someone believes fable is truth.
Cosette is dragged before the king who demands she shares her gift. With her life on the line, she calls upon a rumored ancient power and comes face to face with Rumpelstiltskin. But his tale is far more twisted than history remembers, and Cosette finds herself trapped in a magic deeper than she bargained for.
With the king’s ire growing thin, and the time Cosette bargained for growing short, she must fight for a fairytale ending, or realize that happily ever after isn’t always the truth.
Filled with true loves kisses, curses and magic, and heroes verses villains.
Written for emerging YA readers, THE STORYTELLER’S DAUGHTER is a Rumpelstiltskin retelling that will satisfy fans of Gail Carson Levine’s ELLA ENCHANTED, as well as Jessica Day George’s DRAGON SLIPPERS and PRINCESS OF GLASS, and Cameron Dokey’s THE WORLD ABOVE.
