Gilded by Marissa Meyer
Marissa Meyer, #1 best-bestselling author, returns to the fairytale world with this haunting retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.
Long ago cursed by the god of lies, a poor miller’s daughter has developed a talent for spinning stories that are fantastical and spellbinding and entirely untrue.
Or so everyone believes.
When one of Serilda’s outlandish tales draws the attention of the sinister Erlking and his undead hunters, she finds herself swept away into a grim world where ghouls and phantoms prowl the earth and hollow-eyed ravens track her every move. The king orders Serilda to complete the impossible task of spinning straw into gold, or be killed for telling falsehoods. In her desperation, Serilda unwittingly summons a mysterious boy to her aid. He agrees to help her… for a price. Love isn’t meant to be part of the bargain.
Soon Serilda realizes that there is more than one secret hidden in the castle walls, including an ancient curse that must be broken if she hopes to end the tyranny of the king and his wild hunt forever.

Most interesting tale I've read in a while. Wonderous and haunting retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. Very gory and might be hard to read at times, quite sad as well. But there's always hope for the good to win over evil. This was a very long story with 50+ engrossing chapters. Unfortunately it does end on a cliff-hanger, so I will be impatiently waiting for the sequel.
