"Think you know
Rapunzel's story? Think again, because the tower was only the
beginning..." - Jennifer Nielsen, New York Times bestselling author of
THE FALSE PRINCE
In all of Tyme, from the Redlands to the Grey,
no one is as lucky as Rapunzel. She lives in a magic tower that obeys
her every wish; she reads wonderful books starring herself as the
heroine; her hair is the longest, most glorious thing in the world. And
she knows this because Witch tells her so - her beloved Witch, who
protects her from evil princes, the dangerous ground under the tower,
even unhappy thoughts. Rapunzel can't imagine any other life.
Then a thief named Jack climbs into her room to steal one of her enchanted
roses. He's the first person Rapunzel's ever met who isn't completely
charmed by her (well, the first person she's met at all, really), and he is infuriating - especially when he hints that Witch isn't telling her
the whole truth. Driven by anger at Jack and her own nameless fears,
Rapunzel descends to the ground for the first time, and finds a world
filled with more peril than Witch promised... and more beauty, wonder,
and adventure than she could have dreamed.
