The Girl Who Built the Tower

Never underestimate the power of greed.Ruby, one of the lost 12-year-old children of Fairendale, has been transformed into an old woman—but at least she has her magic. She uses this magic to help grow a garden outside the land of Rosehaven, as she used to do in her homeland of Fairendale. Her life, though lonely, is relatively orderly and safe—until she ventures into the village of Rosehaven.There she meets a girl with the longest golden hair she has ever seen, a girl in desperate need of some chamomile for some mysterious purpose. Ruby grows chamomile in her garden, and the two become fast friends. And when news of a king's reward for the lost children of Fairendale reaches the villagers, who are always looking for a quick way to riches, Ruby must find a way to protect Rapunzel from the hands of her own people—or die trying.
