In a hidden tower, Rapunzel’s life has been defined by the walls that confine her and the love of a mother who isn't what she seems. For eighteen years, Rapunzel has lived under the watchful eye of Mother Gothel, isolated from the world, yet filled with a yearning to experience the life beyond the tower’s walls. The dream of seeing the floating lanterns that light up the sky on her birthday has fueled her every thought, but freedom has always seemed out of reach.

Then one day, fate intervenes in the form of a thief named Flynn Rider. On the run from palace guards, Flynn stumbles upon Rapunzel’s hidden sanctuary, and an unlikely alliance forms. Together, they embark on a journey that will challenge their views of the world—and their place within it. As they navigate dangers, forge new friendships, and confront their pasts, Rapunzel discovers more about herself than she ever imagined. Along the way, she learns the true power of love, forgiveness, and the importance of embracing who she is meant to be.

But not all is as it seems. With Gothel’s manipulation and the looming threat of danger, Rapunzel must decide what she truly wants: a life in the tower, or the freedom she has always dreamed of. And when the truth about her past is revealed, she will have to summon the strength to fight for her future—one that’s free from the chains of her past.

In Tangled: A Novel, the magic, adventure, and heart of the original story come alive in a new, deeper way, revealing the emotional journeys of both Rapunzel and Flynn as they find their way to each other and their destinies.

Tangled!

Welcome to Tangled: A Novel. This book is an expanded retelling of the beloved story, taking you deeper into the heart and minds of the characters you know and love. Through these pages, you will experience Rapunzel's world from the confines of her tower to the vastness of the kingdom, seeing the world not just through her eyes but also through the complex lives of the people she meets.

What began as a story of magic and adventure is now a tale of growth, transformation, and self-discovery. Every step Rapunzel takes toward freedom mirrors the emotional journey that we all experience, finding the courage to step into the unknown, facing our fears, and embracing who we truly are.

In this novel, I've strived to capture not only the whimsical beauty of Tangled but also the deep emotional undercurrent that lies within the story. This is not just the story of a princess and a thief, it is the story of finding love, redemption, and purpose in a world full of uncertainty.

As you read, I invite you to reflect on your own journey of transformation and to embrace the idea that freedom often lies in the choices we make, even in the face of great adversity.

Thank you for joining me on this adventure. I hope you find a piece of your own story in Rapunzel's.
