Once upon a time there was a foolish miller who claimed his daughter could spin straw into gold... All Adela wants is to keep her family together, keep a roof over her brothers' heads, put food on the table, and not draw attention to herself, for she's no time for suitors. But all that is shattered when she's dragged from the village by a greedy king and ordered to spin straw into gold - or die. Suddenly life has become very dangerous, and which impending fate is worse - execution or a forced marriage to a mad, old king? It will take faith, courage, and otherworldly help for Adela to outwit those who would destroy her and her loved ones. And a happy ending is something she can only hope for.
