Legend Of Rapunzel: The Very Beginning

Princess Athalia watched her beloved slip toward her own sister, and swore she'd never be outshone again. She married the throne instead of the heart she wanted — and set about making sure her husband's crown would never be questioned, whatever it cost his brother.

What began as court manoeuvring became a pact with a sorceress: in exchange for a vow to never bear a child. Athalia broke that vow— and it cost Athalia everything she'd built: stolen by the one woman she trusted to save them both.

Before she was feared as a witch stealing children through the streets of her own capital, Athalia was a queen who orchestrated her own rival's downfall. Before the kingdom believed her dead, she was a mother searching for a son.

This is the true story of the woman behind the legend of Rapunzel — The Witch in Rapunzel who was once a princess. And it does not begin the way legends usually admit.
