With the Nebula Award-winning Uprooted, Naomi Novik opened an excellent new chapter within an already acclaimed career, delving into the magic of fairy tales to craft a love story that was both timeless and utterly from the now. Rotating Silver draws readers deeper into this glittering world of fantasy, where the boundary between wonder and terror is definitely thinner than a breathing, and safety could be stolen as quickly being a kiss.
Miryem is the child and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father’s incapability to collect his bills has left his family around the edge of poverty-until Miryem needs matters into her own hands. Hardening her center, the young woman units out to claim what’s owed and shortly gains a status for being able to convert silver into yellow metal. When an ill-advised boast pulls the attention from the king from the Staryk-grim fey animals who seem more glaciers than flesh-Miryem’s fate, which of two kingdoms, will become forever altered. She’ll face an difficult problem and, along with two improbable allies, uncover a key that threatens to consume the lands of humans and Staryk as well.

“Gorgeous, complicated, and magical . . . This is actually the kind of book that one might wish to inhabit forever.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Cool and clever and . . . dire and wonderful.”-Laini Taylor, author of Strange the Dreamer
