A darkly romantic Rapunzel reimagining from the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of
WHEN THE MOON HATCHED. "What a pretty flower to keep locked in a big rocky tower." Nineteen
years ago I was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre that spared nobody else. Small.
Fragile. An enigma. Now ward to a powerful High Master who knows too much and says too little
I lead a simple life never straying from the confines of an imaginary line I've drawn around
the castle grounds. Stay within. Never leave. Out there the monsters lurk. Inside I'm safe
... though at a cost far greater than the blood I drip into a goblet daily. Toxic
unreciprocated love for a man who's utterly unavailable. My savior. My protector. My almost
executioner. I can't help but be enamored with the arcane man who holds the power to pull my
roots from the ground. When voracious beasts spill across the land and threaten to fray the
fabric of my tailored existence the petals of reality will peel back to reveal an ugly truth.
But in a castle puddled with secrets none are greater than the one I've kept from myself. No
tower is tall enough to protect me from the horror that tore my life to shreds. Book one in the
Crystal Bloom series. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas Rebecca Yarros and Jennifer L.
Armentrout.
