This dark, enchanting book is Meyer at the height of her powers -- crafting a new tale with an old-school feel where nobody is guaranteed a happily-everafter. It is fresh and utterly engrossing while also familiar -- just what Meyer does best."--The New York Times "The queen of fairy-tale retellings is back, this time with "Rumpelstiltskin" as her inspiration, and the result is a gorgeously intricate tale that will have readers locked in from the start. ... Meyer weaves an enchanting tale filled with whimsically magical moments and some serious suspense. [She] knows how to capture fantastical worlds, and this one is pure perfection for her fans and new readers alike." --Booklist "Cornered by the wicked Erlking on the night of the wild hunt, Serilda claims that she can spin straw into gold, a lie that saves her life but lands her in the Erlkings castle on the next full moon with a room full of straw and an impossible task. Fortunately, Gild, an impish (and attractive) poltergeist shows up, offering help in exchange for Serildas golden necklace. Gild easily fulfills his end of the bargain and does so a second time for Serildas ring; when the Erlking makes the third demand, however, Serilda has nothing left to give Gild, and the romance that has sparked between them only complicates things further." --Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books, recommended "Meyer explores the power of fiction in this inventive "Rumpelstiltskin" reimagining. Intricate worldbuilding and star-crossed romance help temper the Erlkings brutality, and ...well-drawn characters will leave readers craving a sequel." --Publishers Weekly"Meyer flips tradition with a simple question: What if the king whom the millers daughter marries is the villain, and Rumpelstiltskin is her only way out? ...The queen of fairy tale retellings has spun what is sure to be another best seller." --School Library Journal Promotional In Gilded, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marissa Meyer returns to the fairytale world with this haunting retelling of Rumpelstiltskin.

Every full moon, the sadistic Erlking and his undead coterie enter the mortal realm to steal wandering children and hunt magical creatures. ... Serilda Moller, 18, knows to remain indoors on such nights, but when she hears hellhounds chasing two moss maidens near her familys cabin in Marchenfeld, she feels compelled to intervene. Serilda successfully secrets the duo into the root cellar but is then confronted by the Erlking. Rather than betray the maidens, Serilda--a spellbinding storyteller with gold wheels for irises--falsely asserts that she is harvesting straw to spin into gold. ...Serilda is despondent until a pale, redheaded teen called Gild appears and offers to complete her impossible task--for a price. Intricate worldbuilding and star-crossed romance help temper the Erlkings brutality, and ...well-drawn characters will leave readers craving a sequel.
