The first time Raya Trinklus hears the story of a goblin who could spin straw into gold and once tried to steal the queen’s child, she believes it’s only that – an impossible story. But as she learns more about the fabled royal family of Auria and her own family’s past, she is drawn in to a budding rebellion and an unlikely friendship with a boy who knows more secrets than he's telling.
Raya soon discovers that the truth in a story depends upon the storyteller, and that history is never as simple as it
seems.
