"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! Please feel free to read, but keep in mind this is a work in progress. :)

Fairytales are real
What if I told you that every fairy tale you grew up with actually happened-but not the way Disney showed you? What if Cinderella didn't find her prince charming, but was selected by a dying king as a disposable bride for his murderous son? What if those glass slippers weren't a gift of magic, but instruments of control-beautiful prisons that bound her to a monster she was too terrified to defy? What if "happily ever after" was just a lie she told to survive, a performance she gave while bleeding inside those perfect glass shoes, married to a man she didn't love but was genuinely, desperately afraid of? Would you believe me? This collection tears away the sanitized veneer of classic fairy tales to reveal the brutal truths beneath. Here, Beauty doesn't tame the Beast-she learns what happens when you're trapped with a monster who owns you. Snow White discovers that sometimes the dwarfs aren't saviors, and true love's kiss solves nothing. These are the real fairy tales. The ones where young women don't escape their circumstances through magic, but are destroyed by systems of power too vast to fight. Where evil doesn't lose-it rewrites history and calls itself love. Where there are no fairy godmothers, no last-minute rescues, no happily ever afters. Just the horror of beautiful lies, and the women who died believing them. Seven tales. Seven tragedies. The truth behind the magic.

Every Day in May (grand prize winner) ✔
***WINNER of the "BREATHTAKING: A FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL WRITING COMPETITION!" "You are a secret kept from the world, but not from me." So begins the peculiar message found slipped under a bedroom door on the morning of May first. Theo is the heir to a powerful dictatorship. The number of people allowed to know he exists is few. He has spent his entire life walled up in the Tower, the looming stone monolith from which his father rules over the Land. Merryn is the daughter of political prisoners. She's known who Theo is longer than he would think possible, and she is taking a great risk contacting him via handwritten notes in order to convince him he deserves more than the fate his father has designed for him. She has one month to exchange daily messages with him, to answer his questions and open his eyes to the realities of a world he has never been allowed to see. A revolution is coming to the Land at the end of the month, and if Merryn's notes fail to get their point across, Theo may never live to see the sunrise on June first. A/N: The following letters were originally published each day from May 1st-31st, 2014. As you will see,Theo is allowed to write down a question for Merryn each evening, but you, the reader, won't see these within the body of the story. It may or may not be obvious from Merryn's response what Theo is asking. Part of the fun is guessing what his questions might be, but if you really want to know what they are, a list of those questions is at the end of the story. This story is a re-imagining of Rapunzel. Now, without further ado-I believe a young heir is about to unfold a slip of paper found on the tile floor near his door... Let's see what it says!Complete

When Will My Life Begin
This is a very old tale of The Brother's Grimm, almost 200 years old, or possibly more. This tale is about a young girl who was born with very, very long hair, who was kidnapped at birth by a wicked, old hag. There are many versions of this tale, such as the King stealing lettuce from the hag's garden, and as a punishment the hag took his newborn daughter. Some involve the hag stealing the baby because of it's beauty and youth. Though many versions of this tale has been told over the years, the plot remains the same. It was about a young girl with long hair who was kidnapped at a young age by an old hag, and then confined in a tower with only one window. This version of the tale involves the hag's past. This is the tale of love, loss, and grief. And of course, a little bit of magic.Complete![What if.... a Tangled story [ENG]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/375051204-256-k516059.jpg)

Let Your Hair Down
This is a retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairy tale Rapunzel. I wrote this story in 1995, right after college, and I'll admit it's kind of silly. Just like in Disney's excellent film "Tangled," I took the name Gothel directly from the original tale because it sounded too chilling not to use. I hope you enjoy it! - - - - - Copyright © 1995 and 2014 by Pete Tarsi All rights reserved. All rights reserved.

With the child stolen, so was an ancient magic that runs through his veins. In a tower hidden deep within the forest, Ravelle has lived his whole life beneath the watchful eye of a witch. Though the world beyond his walls is a mystery, he remains spirited and curious. While he knows nothing of the outside world, Ravelle longs to one day see what lies beyond the tower. Valerius, a retired Navy commodore, searches for a journey away from the sea. What begins as a simple adventure leads him to the hidden tower and to Ravelle, whose beauty, bravery, and untamed magic captivate him instantly. As the two men grow closer, they uncover the truth of Ravelle's birthright and the powerful magic the witch seeks to control. To escape, they must outwit the witch and navigate a kingdom that believes the crown prince is dead. But the greatest danger may lie in the choice Ravelle must make. Embrace the power within him and claim his destiny, or remain a prisoner of the tower and magic, forever.
