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.

"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.
