"When Nor rescues a captured faerie in the woods, he gifts her with a magical golden thread to summon him for a favor. Instead, Nor uses it for a con--to convince villagers to buy golden straw--and attracts the suspicion of Prince Casper. Set on catching Nor in her lie, he demands she spin a room of straw into gold. If she succeeds, she'll become a queen. If she fail, the consequences will be dire. Desperate, Nor summons the faerie, launching a complicated dance of feelings for both prince and faerie--and must decide who she herself wishes to become"--Front dust jacket.
