A princess stolen from her tower discovers the truth that shatters everything she believed. Rapunzel's golden hair holds dark magic—a power her captors will kill to control. When a thief infiltrates her sanctuary, she must choose between the only life she's known and a dangerous freedom that demands everything.
Her mother's crown awaits. So does a kingdom that never knew she existed. But the witch who raised her will not let her go without a fight, and the magic coursing through her veins grows more volatile with each passing hour. Trust becomes a weapon. Love becomes a liability.
In the shadows of the castle walls, destinies collide. One girl's escape could topple an empire—or destroy it entirely.
