You don’t have to dwell in a tower to be isolated.
Cybele Lockley should know. To say that she lived a sheltered life would be an understatement. For as long as she could remember, she had been stuck in a rural house in the middle of nowhere, separated from the world due to a medical condition. Her only company was her grandmother, and just in the morning and the evenings. During the day, she was forbidden to leave the house or even look out the tiny windows. Longing to be free of the isolation, Cybele created a make-believe world in an old notebook, filled with the romance and adventure of a character based on the fairy tale of Rapunzel.
She thought it was just a story…
Everything changes when she attempts to cut her hair for the first time. The room spins, her tawny colored locks grew to nearly three times its original length, the house is transformed into a woodland cottage, and the landscape morphs to resemble an imaginary setting from her notebook. Now she must work find her true reality – and in doing so must assume the role of her make-believe heroine and complete a quest to find a crystal rose.
This Rapunzel isn’t just letting down her hair.
