The Spindle is the classic fairy tale Sleeping Beauty retold from the dark fairy's point of view...
Set in the Celtic world of the fifth century, The Twelve Faeries are elemental spirits charged with caring for the earth and all its inhabitants. But the world is changing, and as humans forget them, the Faeries, and the important things they represent, are disappearing. Once numerous, now The Twelve faeries are all that remain, and they are keenly aware that they are facing extinction. Sweet, sycophantic Violet, faerie of beauty, love and dreams has made herself into a darling of the King's court in a desperate bid for survival. Her sister Nor, the faerie of death, who desires above all things to be truly good and loved, is feared by all the human realm and completely shunned.
But when Violet breaks the faerie law and gives the barren Queen a child, the future of human history is dismantled. Nor and the other faeries must right her wrong and restore Princess Rose to her correct place in time before it's too late. Their plan is threatened by a prideful King desperate to maintain his power, the kind, poor gardener Arthur whose destiny is endangered by his deep love for the Princess he was never supposed to meet, and Princess Rose herself - an intelligent, passionate young woman fated to become one of the greatest rulers the land has ever known.
