Millissa — Cordelia Castel

Magic will be her savior. Or her downfall. Born into a world as cunning as it is magical, one brave young woman must navigate the court of a deranged usurper King and uncover the truth behind its tangled, horrible past. To save herself from hanging, she must risk summoning illegal magic into her dungeon cell to fulfill the King's staggering request: spin straw into gold-or die. With the help of an imp and a mysterious girl, Millissa must unravel the history behind the King's terrible curse and the bonds that tie her to Autumn's ultimate fate. The truth will either set them free or bind them to their doom. Secrets and lies swirl about the court as a magical storm brews, threatening to uproot the monarchy, a marriage, and the miller's daughter.
