Trapped in a dim cellar, the miller’s daughter faces a towering pile of straw, her heart pounding with fear. The shadows dance as a strange little man appears, his eyes sparkling with mischief. He offers to turn the straw into gold, but his price is terrifying: her firstborn child! With each twist of the spindle, the stakes grow higher. Can she solve the secret of his name before it’s too late, or will she lose everything she holds dear? The clock ticks, and only cleverness can save her—will she outsmart Rumpelstiltskin in time?
