Threads of Gold

When the price of magic is everything you hold dear, how much are you willing to pay?


Annora Kelsden’s father has always been a braggart, but when he boasts that she can spin straw into gold, his words reach the wrong ears. Suddenly, Annora finds herself imprisoned in the king’s tower with three days to accomplish the impossible…or face execution.


When a mysterious stranger appears offering his help, Annora has no choice but to accept. But magic always comes with a price, and each night the stranger’s demands grow more costly. What begins as salvation becomes a trap with no escape, where royal greed threatens to consume everything she loves.


Even when unexpected love blooms in the darkest of circumstances, Annora discovers that some bargains can't be broken — and some debts can only be paid with the one thing she can’t bear to give up. As her final payment comes due, she must find the strength to outwit the very magic that saved her, or lose the most precious thing of all.


In this kingdom where gold matters more than lives, will cleverness triumph over sorcery, or will Annora discover that some prices are too high to pay?
