Zela is something special. Rare. Hunted. After her forest haven is raided and her sisters stolen away and sold to powerful creatures throughout the world, she takes refuge in the only place she knew she could hide. Liverean Detainment Center, also known as The Tower. A magical prison where the worst of the worst magical offenders were imprisoned. As long as she has food and a steady supply of enchanted hair dye, she'll be fine.
But when the dye runs out and her stunning red locks begin to bleed through, Zela is forced to make a decision about her future. Stay in the prison and be discovered and sold. Or find a way to escape and try to make it out in the world on her own.
Neither option seemed like a good one, but when she decided to befriend a raven, both plans dissolve into a hazy mess that Zela never saw coming.

In a world where shifters reside, the amount of scales that covered your body determined your position in life. There were many colors of scales and in differing shades too, but black meant royalty. Royal blue scales laced Tallulah's body in unusual yet beautiful patterns of symmetry. Her coverage was unnatural for her position, but her beauty was also a shame she was forced to carry since birth; she was the bastard offspring of their lord. Tallulah was born to a realm where preference was never an option for her class. She was forced into marriage to a man who would rather hurt her than nurture her or allow her to escape her predetermined destiny or to seek out her own, but the world had other plans for Tallulah. Amidst her new life and understanding who she is becoming, Atlas, Crown prince of their land, comes into her life, knocking upside down her entire existence. Running from her past she ran straight into her future, for she was the mate of Atlas and she was scared.Complete![Towers [BOOK ONE]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/44650406-256-k92124.jpg)
Towers [BOOK ONE]
"Our kingdom was once beautiful, but now the towers are everywhere. They say that Queen Rapunzel has lost her mind--and I believe them. Before, I might have felt sorry for her, but now I just fear her. I fear the sound of her soldiers pounding at the door, demanding that I be taken away. I fear the towers." Years after the original tale of Rapunzel took place, the kingdom--left to the grief-stricken Queen after her husband's death--is falling apart. People live in constant fear of the many terrible towers across the land, built by her Majesty's decree to imprison any who dare question her. Bird's nothing but a girl from the north, but when someone she cares about is taken by the mad Queen's soldiers, she'll stop at nothing to save them. With nothing but her friends, a sled, and a mind full of songs, she sets out to get rid of the towers, once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is a retelling of the *ORIGINAL FAIRY TALE* by the Brothers Grimm and has no connection to Disney's version whatsoever. DISCLAIMER PART II: I wrote this book when I was 15 and am still in the middle of huge revisions that I haven't posted here yet!
