The Gilded Duology is a two-book young adult fantasy series by Marissa Meyer, consisting of Gilded and Cursed, which retells the Rumpelstiltskin fairytale with a darker, Grimm-inspired tone. The story follows Serilda, a miller's daughter who can spin lies into stories, as she is forced by a king to spin straw into gold, leading her to summon a mysterious boy named Gild for help, uncovering dark secrets and an ancient curse in the process.”
