Part 1 of 2
After her father boasts of her spinning straw into gold, Nona’s life takes a hard turn. Forced to provide evidence of her father’s ridiculous claim, Nona finds her life in the hands of a flippant king and his idiot guard. Sure would be great if a magical man with oddly specific powers and an impossibly difficult name could help her out of this situation!
