To Bleed a Crystal Bloom — Sarah A. Parker

What if Rapunzel wasn’t waiting to be saved… but trapped in something far darker?

Nineteen years ago, she was pulled from the aftermath of a brutal massacre and placed inside a castle where safety comes with a cost. Bound to a powerful High Master who both protects and controls her, she lives within strict limits—never leaving, never questioning… until everything begins to unravel.

This is not a soft fairytale. This is obsession, control, and a love that cuts deeper than it heals. As secrets begin to surface and the world outside claws its way in, the truth threatens to destroy everything she thought she understood about herself—and him.
