Miryem, the daughter of a gentle moneylender, takes over her father's debts and earns a dangerous reputation for turning silver into gold — a boast that summons the ice-cold king of the Staryk, who demands she perform the same miracle with his enchanted silver or die. Her fate becomes intertwined with Irina, a lord's daughter wed to a tsar secretly possessed by a demon, and Wanda, a peasant girl fleeing her abusive father. Loosely retelling Rumpelstiltskin through a lens of Slavic-Jewish folklore, the novel is ultimately a story about three women using wit, courage, and unlikely alliances to outwit the supernatural forces controlling their lives.
