The Witch They Wanted

By Christina Veillette

They locked her in a tower and called her a monster. Now she's the story they fear.

She counted the stones.
Three hundred and ninety-five. Each one cold, unmoving-like the world that cast her out.

Once, she was a girl with golden hair and gentle dreams. Now, the tower is her companion, the wind her voice, and hunger her only visitor.
Until the prince comes.
He says he'll save her.
But not all cages are made of stone, and not all saviors carry light.

In this haunting reimagining of Rapunzel, the tale turns inward, feral, and vengeful. With poetic prose and shadow-drenched magic, The Witch They Wanted unbraids the line between victim and villain-and dares to ask:

What happens when the forgotten girl becomes the witch?

A dark fairytale for readers who grew up on happily-ever-afters... and now crave something deeper.
