When the price of magic is everything you hold dear, how much are you willing to pay?
When Annora’s father boasts she can spin straw into gold, his words reach the king’s ears. Imprisoned with three days to accomplish the impossible or face execution, Annora accepts help from a mysterious stranger. But magic comes with a price, and each night the king’s demands grow more costly.
What begins as salvation becomes a trap with no escape, where royal greed threatens everything she loves. Even when unexpected romance blooms, Annora discovers some bargains can’t be broken. As her final payment comes due, she must outwit the very magic that saved her…or lose the most precious thing of all.
