The Curse of Gold: A Short Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin (Once Upon a Short Story Book 5)

Everything she touches turns to gold…

Emily wants a normal life as a normal girl. (Finding a name for her cat would also be nice.) But the magic she inherited from her fae mother makes the life she wants impossible, and the gold she creates brings out the worst in every human she meets.

When Emily is captured by a greedy king, a mysterious fae offers to help… for a price. Can she escape the king, outsmart the fae, and find a happy ending?

The Curse of Gold is book five in the Once Upon a Short Story collection.
