NEW YORK TIMES BEST­SELLER • ​“One of the year’s strongest fan­ta­sy nov­els” (NPR), an imag­i­na­tive retelling of the Rumpel­stilt­skin fairy tale from the best­selling author of Uproot­ed.

NEB­U­LA AND HUGO AWARD FINAL­IST • NAMED ONE OF PASTE​’S BEST FAN­TA­SY BOOKS OF THE DECADE • ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Pub­lic Library

With the Neb­u­la Award – win­ning Uproot­ed, Nao­mi Novik opened a bril­liant new chap­ter in an already acclaimed career, delv­ing into the mag­ic of fairy tales to craft a love sto­ry that was both time­less and utter­ly of the now. Spin­ning Sil­ver draws read­ers deep­er into this glit­ter­ing realm of fan­ta­sy, where the bound­ary between won­der and ter­ror is thin­ner than a breath, and safe­ty can be stolen as quick­ly as a kiss.

Miryem is the daugh­ter and grand­daugh­ter of money­len­ders, but her father’s inabil­i­ty to col­lect his debts has left his fam­i­ly on the edge of pover­ty — until Miryem takes mat­ters into her own hands. Hard­en­ing her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a rep­u­ta­tion for being able to turn sil­ver into gold. When an ill-advised boast draws the atten­tion of the king of the Staryk — grim fey crea­tures who seem more ice than flesh — Miryem’s fate, and that of two king­doms, will be for­ev­er altered. She will face an impos­si­ble chal­lenge and, along with two unlike­ly allies, uncov­er a secret that threat­ens to con­sume the lands of humans and Staryk alike.x
