Promises of Gold

By: Serena Clarke

Narrated by: Kimi Weldon

When Emmalene’s father brags that she can spin straw into gold, word soon reaches the king, and she is taken to him to prove she has this ability. Knowing magic was outlawed in the kingdom, she kept her own magical ability a secret, but spinning straw into gold was impossible for her to do.

Now, she must prove her father’s tale to be true, or risk the wrath of the king. The only person who could save her is the legendary Rumpelstilkin. When he doesn’t appear, but sends one of his followers, she is grateful for his assistance - but finds that she is falling for the charming man.

When the king begins to show interest in Emmalene, will she choose to follow her heart or sacrifice her happiness to save the lives of those she loves?

Delightful fairytale

What a delightful listen this was. It took the rumplestitleskin story to a whole new level. I read a fairy tale recently and didn’t enjoy it but this one was a whole different story that I thoroughly enjoyed. Great reader too that added character to the voices. Loved it!

Rumplestiltskin

A retelling of this fairytale with embellishments and details added in. This version is fun with little twists. Red comes to Emma’s aid to spin gold to protect her from the wicked king. He is young and handsome and Emma has a hard time not losing her heart, but her first love is for Rumplestiltskin. There’s twists and unexpected turns in this version. The narration was also well done.

Great Job Serena!

Really clever and intriguing rumplestitleskin retelling, really enjoyed it!! Really neat story, keeps you guessing, narrator did a fantastic job, I really love Serena's style and think this one is a definite winner :) Keep up the amazingly good work, Serena! I will keep reading/listening as long as you keep writing :)

A PROMISE WORTH MORE THAN GOLD

A BEAUTIFUL STORY ABOUT A YOUNG WOMAN WHO FEARS FOR LIFE. A SINISTER KING WHO WILL NOT BE DENIED, AND A YOUNG MAN WITH A TORTURED AND SECRETIVE PAST. THE STORY WAS HEARTFELT, AND WILL REMIND THE LISTENER AND READER WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN THIS LIFE. KIMI WELDON HAS A SOFT VOICE THAT CAPTURED THE FEELINGS AND EMOTION OF THE STORY! I HOPE THE NEXT TALE IS BEAUTY AND THE BEAST!

Such A Great Story!

Absolutely loved Serena’s take on this old fairytale! So captivating and it kept me on toes. 10/10 would recommend!
