A Down the Twisted Path Story: a new spin on an olde tale
One bite is all it takes...
Out on a walk, Princess Talia can't resist taking a bite from a lovely apple hanging from a tree, but a witch appears and accuses her of stealing, and sentences her to three years of servitude. Talia tries to run away, but Zella's magic imprisons her, hiding Talia from those looking for her. She has no choice but to accept her punishment for now, but she will not give up her search for a magical escape.
Talia spends long days working as a maid, trying to get along with Zella's cranky assistant and avoid her crude and loathsome son. But Zella is quick to anger, offering vicious punishments for small mistakes, and if Talia messes up one too many times, she just might lose her life.
When the Forest Cries is a dark and twisted Rapunzel retelling.
