The Storyteller's Daughter

His shadowed face lit by flames,
Rumpelstiltskin is my name...
For as long as anyone can remember, every child in Westfallen has been born with a Gift, and these Gifts defined them.
Then Cosette is born, Giftless.
An attempt to hide her misfortune brings her before the King, who entraps her to use her Gift as a pawn in his war.
Caught in a lie, Cosette desperately searches for a power strong enough to free her. Intrigued by whispers of an old king and a dark curse, she calls upon Rumpelstiltskin and finds him trapped in a magic deeper than she bargained for. Now, Cosette must fight to reclaim her freedom from the King and break Rumpel's curse. When time runs out, she'll lose more than her heart. She'll lose her life.
THE STORYTELLER'S DAUGHTER is the perfect introduction to YA that will satisfy fans of Gail Carson Levine's ELLA ENCHANTED, as well as Jessica Day George's DRAGON SLIPPERS and PRINCESS OF GLASS, and Cameron Dokey's THE WORLD ABOVE.
