Key Information

Plot summary

[edit]

The story of Spinning Silver unfolds in the voices of several characters, but primarily in the voices of three young women who struggle against strong evil forces, in an imaginary medieval eastern European kingdom called Lithvas.[3]

Over the last seven years, Lithvas has been suffering from long, brutal winters that are slowly killing its people. Miryem Mandelstam, a young Jewish girl, takes over her father's moneylending business to save her family from poverty. A village girl, Wanda and later her brother, become the Mandelstams' servants. One night, Miryem, flush with her financial success, brags to her mother that she can “turn silver into gold”. Her boast is overheard by the Staryk, a race of fae creatures who emerge from their own world every winter to raid human settlements, and Miryem receives three deliveries of magical silver. Realizing that the Staryk will kill her if she does not give them gold in exchange, she has the metal made into three pieces of jewellery to sell. However, after the sale of the second piece, Miryem demands payment for her work; to Miryem’s horror, the Staryk king tells her that after the third, her "reward" will be marriage to him.

The jewellery is bought by the duke of the city of Vysnia for his daughter, Irina; he then persuades Mirnatius, the tsar of Lithvas, to marry her. On her wedding night, Irina discovers that while wearing her Staryk jewellery, she can cross into the Staryk kingdom and magically observe her husband. Mirnatius has a contract allowing his body to be inhabited by Chernobog, a demon who drinks souls and can only emerge at night due to his hatred of sunlight. Each evening, the new tsarina escapes to the fae world, where she is safe from the demon.

After the Staryk king abducts Miryem to his palace, she learns that she can literally change silver into gold with a touch. She also discovers that the Staryk king is responsible for lengthening the winters in Lithvas, and that it is his desire to make them permanent. Although she hates her husband, who refuses even to tell her his name due to the power over him it would give her, Miryem comes to know and care for some of the Staryk; she also sees that their kingdom is suffering mysterious damages. While out exploring, Miryem encounters Irina. The two women create a plan to bring their husbands together, in the hopes that they will destroy one another. Because Miryem cannot cross to the human world alone, she bargains with the king: he will take her to attend her cousin’s wedding in Vysnia if she can transform three of his enormous vaults of silver within three days. She succeeds, barely, with the help of her servants.

Chernobog promises that, in exchange for Irina giving him the Staryk king, he will never harm her or anyone she cares about. She takes him to the wedding, where he confronts the king. With the help of the mortals, the demon imprisons the Staryk and begins consuming his magic. Mirnatius tells Irina that he did not choose the contract with Chernobog, but was promised to the demon by his own mother in exchange for her marrying his father, the previous tsar. Once the king is bound, spring arrives. However, Miryem is troubled to realize that the fae kingdom and its inhabitants, including those who helped her, will all be destroyed as the king is drained. She goes to her husband and learns that, while the Staryk have always raided the human world, they began trying to exterminate Lithvas with brutal winters only after Mirnatius became tsar. Through the magical connection between the fae and human kingdoms, the demon caused the weakening of the Staryk world.

Miryem frees the king after extracting a promise that he will end the killing winters and the raids. Chernobog, enraged, threatens Irina until she offers to take him to the Staryk kingdom. There, Miryem lures the demon into the king’s treasury, and once he is surrounded by silver, she turns it into gold. Unable to bear the touch of solid sunlight on his skin, Chernobog flees back to the human world. In the mortal lands, the demon attempts to turn on Irina, but finds himself powerless when she reminds him of their bargain not to harm her or anyone of hers. As tsarina, she counts all the people of Lithvas as hers - including the tsar. Chernobog is thus forced from Mirnatius's body and killed.

As spring has returned to Lithvas, Miryem is obliged to remain in the Staryk kingdom until the day of the first snow. However, when she returns to the human world, she realizes that she has become attached to the kingdom, its people, and its king. She is nevertheless astonished when the king asks for permission to court her. She consents, and the pair are wed two weeks later. Miryem notes that, in accordance with Jewish custom, her husband signed his name on their marriage contract - but in accordance with Staryk custom, she will never reveal it to anyone.

Reception

[edit]

Spinning Silver was widely praised upon its release. It was a finalist for Best Novel in both the 2018 Nebula Awards and the 2019 Hugo Awards.[4][5] The novel won the American Library Association's Alex Award in 2019,[6] the 2019 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel,[7] and the 2019 Audie Award for Fantasy.[8]

The New York Times called it "a perfect tale about the songs of ice and fire."[1] Vox called Novik "one of the definitive YA voices of her era."[9]

Background

Author

Naomi Novik was born in 1973 in as a second-generation American, with a Lithuanian Jewish father and a Polish Catholic mother whose immigrant backgrounds from shaped her early exposure to a blend of fairy tales, folktales, and songs from those regions. This heritage fostered her lifelong in Eastern European folklore, including aspects of and Slavic mythology that inform her storytelling. She studied English literature at and pursued graduate work in computer science at . Novik began her professional career in software development, contributing to the design of online games, before transitioning to writing full-time following the success of her debut novel. Her breakthrough came with the Temeraire series (2006–2016), an alternate history fantasy depicting dragons in the Napoleonic Wars, which established her as a prominent voice in speculative fiction. She later shifted toward standalone fairy tale retellings, exemplified by Uprooted (2015) and the short story "Spinning Silver," published in the anthology The Starlit Wood (2016). In addition to her writing, Novik co-founded the in 2007, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and advocating for fan-created content, including the development of the . Her early acclaim included the Award for Best New Writer in 2007, recognizing her rising impact in the genre.

Development and inspiration

Spinning Silver originated from Naomi Novik's reimagining of the "" fairy tale, which she expanded to challenge anti-Semitic stereotypes of Jewish moneylenders as greedy or malevolent figures, while weaving in Slavic winter , particularly the depiction of the Staryk as ethereal ice fae who embody a cold, otherworldly realm. This inspiration allowed Novik to explore themes of prejudice and survival, transforming the tale's bargain motif into a narrative about agency and consequence in a fantastical Eastern European-inspired world. The concept began as a titled "Spinning Silver," published in the 2016 anthology The Starlit Wood: New Fairy Tales, edited by Dominik Parisien and Navah Wolfe. Focusing initially on the protagonist Miryem's perspective, the story garnered critical praise and reader enthusiasm, prompting Novik to expand it into a full ; she announced this development during a AMA in 2016, noting that the piece had already outgrown short story constraints. The expansion shifted the narrative from a single viewpoint to an interconnected tale involving multiple characters, diverging in plot while retaining core elements like Miryem's moneylending prowess. Novik completed the novel between 2017 and 2018, pitching the idea to her editor Anne Groell at Random House after the short story's word count exceeded 11,000. To sustain her writing momentum, she adopted the Pomodoro technique—25-minute focused sessions followed by five-minute breaks—and used tools like the gamified app Habitica for habit tracking. A key creative decision was centering the story on three female protagonists—Miryem, Wanda, and Irina—whose shifting points of view create a non-linear structure that builds layers of perspective, emphasizing communal bonds over isolated heroism and allowing the plot to unfold through evolving relationships and challenges. To ground the fictional kingdom of Lithvas, Novik researched Lithuanian Jewish history, drawing directly from her father's family's experiences of fleeing —not only from Nazis but also from local in pre-World War II —which informed the novel's portrayal of marginalized communities under siege. She also delved into Slavic pagan mythology to enrich the supernatural elements, incorporating deities such as the thunder god and the dark entity Chernobog to contrast the Staryk's icy domain with fiery, earthly forces, adding cultural and mythological depth to the world's cosmology. This approach built on her prior success with Uprooted, another adaptation that blended with personal heritage.

Plot summary

Spinning Silver is set in the fictional kingdom of Lithvas, a medieval-inspired realm drawing from , where harsh winters and ancient magics coexist with human society. The story follows three young women whose lives intertwine amid escalating threats: Miryem Mandelstam, the daughter of a Jewish moneylender struggling with debts; Witarz, a burdened by her family's financial woes; and , the overlooked daughter of a nobleman whose fate becomes tied to the royal court. The central conflict arises when Miryem, hardened by poverty, takes over her father's trade and boasts of her ability to turn silver into gold, drawing the attention of the Staryk king, a powerful ice fae from a wintry fey realm who enforces a perilous bargain. This event spirals into broader dangers, as Miryem's circumstances connect with Wanda's escape from her abusive home and Irina's betrothal to Mirnatius, whose body harbors the fire demon Chernobog, driving demonic incursions into Lithvas. The Staryk king's actions provoke invasions that blanket the land in unnatural frost and endless winters. The protagonists navigate these perils through cunning and emerging magical affinities, including Miryem's ability to transmute silver to gold, Wanda's water-based protective magic, and Irina's awakening to fire magic. The narrative employs a multi-perspective structure, shifting third-person viewpoints chapter by chapter among the three protagonists and occasionally others, to build tension across parallel storylines that converge in a climactic quest. Key events include Miryem's successful debt collections provoking Staryk invasions, Wanda's involvement in protecting Miryem leading to revelations of her own latent magic, and the group's use of folklore-inspired rituals to confront Chernobog, ultimately involving sacrifices and alliances to restore equilibrium between the human and fey worlds. The tale reimagines elements from the fairy tale alongside Slavic myths.

Her evolution reflects growing agency as she navigates complex fey politics, embodying cultural resilience amid adversity. Wanda Witarz serves as a quiet yet resilient secondary , the daughter of an abusive from a poor farming family, where she shoulders responsibilities for her younger brothers amid a harsh domestic environment. Her arc highlights the discovery of innate healing and protective magic, fostering independence as she forms meaningful bonds that transcend her isolated upbringing.

Cautious and strategically minded, she grows into a commanding presence, balancing her dual lineage with duties in a precarious to Mirnatius, leveraging her intellect to safeguard her interests and those of her realm. Among the supporting figures, the unnamed Staryk king rules as a cold, bargain-obsessed fae sovereign of a wintry realm, capricious and bound by rigid otherworldly rules, with an unyielding covetousness for gold that drives his interactions with . Mirnatius, the demon-possessed , presents a threatening figure whose youth masks a deeper malevolence influenced by his infernal occupant.

The narrative weaves intricate relationships among the protagonists, forging unlikely alliances between Miryem, Wanda, and Irina as friends united by shared perils and mutual reliance. These bonds contrast with broader tensions spanning the human world, the icy Staryk domain, and demonic influences, where characters' personal growth propels the central conflicts through their evolving interactions.

Themes and analysis

Fairy tale retelling

Spinning Silver adapts the "" by centering on Miryem, a Jewish moneylender's daughter whose talent for turning silver into gold echoes the imp's straw-spinning ability, but reframes it as a cultural practice rooted in economic necessity rather than a bargain with a malevolent creature. This core transformation subverts the original tale's anti-Semitic undertones, where the miller's daughter relies on a greedy dwarf, by portraying Miryem's skill as an extension of her family's moneylending trade in a Lithvania-inspired setting, emphasizing resilience amid prejudice. The "name-guessing" motif evolves into a broader magical power, where knowing a fae's grants control, as seen in Miryem's confrontation with the Staryk king, transforming the tale's singular riddle into a recurring theme of linguistic and magical authority. The novel expands the single-protagonist structure of the Brothers Grimm version by introducing multiple heroines—Miryem, the gentile farmer's daughter Wanda, and the tsarina Irina—each navigating intersecting bargains and alliances that weave a tapestry of perspectives, contrasting the original's isolation with communal female solidarity. It integrates Slavic folklore elements, such as the Staryk as icy winter elves who invade the human world, opposed by Perun's fire and the fire demon Chernobog, adding layers of mythological conflict absent in the Grimm tale and evoking themes of seasonal strife. Novik subverts passive fairy tale tropes by highlighting female agency, as the heroines actively challenge their fates through cunning and defiance rather than awaiting rescue, while incorporating economic realism that portrays moneylending as a path to empowerment amid exploitation, eschewing tidy moral resolutions for nuanced consequences of magical bargains. Unlike the Grimm "Rumpelstiltskin," which focuses on a thwarted deal, Spinning Silver interweaves elements from "The Snow Queen" in its icy fae realm and "Vasilisa the Beautiful" in its folklore motifs, further layering the narrative with colonialism analogies where Staryk incursions represent winter famines and territorial conquests.

Cultural and social elements

In Spinning Silver, the portrayal of Jewish representation draws directly from historical contexts of Eastern European Jewish life, centering on Miryem Mandelstam, the daughter of a village moneylender in the fictional kingdom of Lithvas. This role reflects medieval antisemitic tropes associating with and greed, as seen in the original "" , but Novik subverts them by depicting Miryem's family as resilient and morally grounded, using moneylending not for exploitation but as a necessary means of survival amid poverty and prejudice. The narrative integrates Jewish cultural elements, such as a tight-knit community facing suspicion from Christian neighbors, with hidden escape passages in homes symbolizing preparedness for pogroms and other threats. while Miryem's arc emphasizes communal strength through alliances that transcend religious divides, culminating in an officiated by a . Gender dynamics in the novel critique patriarchal structures through the empowerment of its protagonists—Miryem, , and —who leverage intellect and magic to challenge oppression. Miryem's takeover of her family's moneylending business asserts her agency against familial expectations, while escapes an abusive household marked by her father's and , highlighting domestic entrapment as a form of gendered control. 's arc specifically interrogates arranged marriages, as she is bartered to a demon-possessed for political gain, her initial powerlessness in the union evolving into strategic resistance that preserves her autonomy and aids her nation's survival. These women form collaborative bonds, using enchanted spaces like a witch's as refuges from male dominance, subverting fairy-tale passivity to portray as a counter to patriarchal debts and coercion. The novel's Slavic influences manifest in its setting of Lithvas, a fictional analogue to historical , particularly and , where harsh winters and shape societal hardships. Seasonal magic, evoking endless ice brought by the fey Staryk, symbolizes climate adversities faced by agrarian communities, while pagan deities like the thunder god and the dark entity Chernobog represent cosmic forces of order and chaos intertwined with human affairs—Chernobog, in particular, possesses the tsar, driving conflicts rooted in ancient dualities. Class divides are explored across peasants like Wanda's family, indebted nobility, and ethereal fey hierarchies, illustrating how economic desperation and magical incursions exacerbate in a pre-modern society. These elements ground the fantasy in cultural authenticity, portraying not as mere backdrop but as a lens for communal resilience against otherworldly and earthly perils. Economic themes position moneylending as a vital survival mechanism in Lithvas's stratified world, with Miryem's proficiency in collecting debts transforming her family's dire poverty into stability and inadvertently attracting supernatural attention. The motif of turning silver into gold critiques greed through human-fae exchanges, where the Staryk king's demand for impossible wealth exposes the perils of hoarding and unequal bargains, mirroring historical antisemitic scapegoating of Jewish financiers. This alchemy extends to broader value systems, as characters navigate debts—personal, magical, and societal—revealing how economic agency empowers the marginalized while fueling cycles of exploitation among the powerful.
