Spindle by E K Johnston

Spindle by E K Johnston

"The Storyteller Queen lives, and her name is E. K. Johnston." -- Rachel Hartman, New York Times best-selling author of Seraphina



The follow-up to A Thousand Nights, Spindle is the feminist retelling of Sleeping Beauty where the princess saves herself and owns the narrative.



The prison is crumbling. Through years of careful manipulation, a demon has regained her power. She has made one kingdom strong and brought the other to its knees, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. When a princess is born, the demon is ready with the final blow: a curse that will cost the princess her very soul, or force her to destroy her own people to save her life.



The threads of magic are tightly spun, binding princess and exiled spinners into a desperate plot to break the curse before the demon can become a queen of men. But the web of power is dangerously tangled -- and they may not see the true pattern until it is unspooled. 

E.K.Johnston is the author of several YA novels, including the L.A. The Tale of Owen, a finalist for the New York Times Book Prize, and Star Wars: Ahsoka The Governor General's Award shortlist included her novel A Thousand Nights. The New York Times named The Tale of Owen a brilliant first step in the career of a novelist who, like her troubadour character, has many more songs to sing, while The Globe & Mail called Johnston the Meryl Streep of YA, with infinite range, in its review of Escape, Pursued by a Bear. E.K.Johnston is a Canadian author who lives in Stratford, Ontario. @ek_johnston is her Twitter handle.
