What Once Was Mine

What if Rapunzel's mother drank a potion from the incorrect flower? is the question posed in the 12th edition of the New York Times best-selling series.

The lovely people of Corona, desperate to rescue their queen and her unborn child, go in search of the all-healing Sundrop flower to cure her—but they unintentionally obtain the shimmering Moondrop flower instead. Still, it cures the queen, and she gives birth to a healthy daughter whose hair is as gray and silver as the moon. Dangerous magical abilities accompany it: the ability to harm rather than cure. Rapunzel is imprisoned in a tower and given over to Mother Gothel, a formidable goodwife, for the sake of both her protection and the welfare of the entire country.

Rapunzel remains confined for eighteen years, aware that she must keep her magical hair safe for others. However, she embarks on an adventure across the kingdom with two thieves—a young woman named Gina and Flynn Rider, a rogue on the run—after leaving the only house she has ever known in order to view the floating lights that emerge on her birthday. Rapunzel discovers that there might be more to her tale and her enchanted hair than she had imagined before she can have her happily ever after.
