Gilded (Gilded, Book 1)

Description

Serilda is a gifted storyteller living in a small village where she is known for her wild imagination and mysterious ability to weave incredible tales. But her talent comes with a secret: she has been touched by the god of lies and possesses a strange gift that makes her stories feel almost real. Her life changes when she encounters the terrifying Erlking, a powerful and cruel figure who rules over the forest with his ghostly hunters.

When Serilda finds herself trapped in a dangerous bargain, she is ordered to perform an impossible task: spin ordinary straw into gold. With her life on the line, Serilda must rely on a mysterious stranger who offers to help—but his assistance comes at a price. As the darkness surrounding the Erlking grows, Serilda begins uncovering secrets about the kingdom, the supernatural forces controlling it, and her own unusual abilities. What follows is a haunting journey filled with magic, romance, ghosts, curses, danger, and impossible choices.
