A Rumplestilskin fairytale modern retelling. Life had always been strange for seventeen year old Alyce Greyson; the isolated house in the mountains, her father's neglect towards her and having been forbidden to have any human contact. Instead the young woman had grown quite fond of literature, including some of her own written poetry, and the training she's received her whole life in the ways of womanhood. Overall, however, she was content in her forced way of life; that is until her eighteenth birthday; the day Andy Greyson would pay the piper... with the life of his only daughter. A scandalous deal 20 years in the making, an arranged marriage, and the end of life as she knew it. Blindsided in to a new life surrounded by a new family with their own enchanting secrets, Alyce must adapt and learn to survive.
