"My father says there are three sides to every story: yours, mine, and the truth."
The first time Raya Trinklus hears the story of a goblin who could spin straw into gold and once tried to steal the queen's child, she believes it's only that - an impossible story. But as she learns more about the fabled royal family of Auria, and her own family's past, and is drawn in to a budding rebellion, Raya discovers that the truth in a story depends upon the storyteller, and that history is never as simple as it seems.
