This is the twisted, tangled, romantic retelling of the fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin. Olivia de Mil is the miller's daughter, and in a horrible situation because of her drunk father's bragging. In hopes of finding her a noble husband, her father has told the baron she can spin wool into gold. But if the baron finds out it's a lie, they will both be beheaded. Kin de Bar (Rumpelstiltskin) is a knight, and used to getting what he wants. And what he wants is the beautiful girl across the room. He manages to secure the position of the girl's escort, and needs to deliver her to the baron's castle where she will supposedly spin wool into gold. Kin would think this to be an impossible task if he hadn't just been cursed by the old witch Hecuba, and now everything he touches turns to gold. Can too much of a good think turn bad? And will Kin be able to control his curse and help Olivia without turning her to gold?
