Gothel, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Before the tower, she was only a woman who had already lost too much.</strong></p><p></p><p>Serilda did not mean to steal a child.</p><p>She meant to save her family.</p><p></p><p>In a kingdom that once bound a secret in amber and called it mercy, grief lingers like a second shadow. Years after betrayal carved its mark into her life, Serilda makes a desperate wish... and something ancient answers.</p><p></p><p>The light finds her, but it harbours a deadly secret.</p><p></p><p>Hidden deep within a lonely tower, she raises a long haired girl on lullabies and half-truths, weaving stories strong enough to keep the world outside away. She tells herself it is love. She tells herself it is protection.</p><p></p><p>But love, when shaped by fear, can become something else.</p><p></p><p>Beyond the forest, the sky fractures once a year in silent remembrance. The kingdom waits for a daughter it believes lost. And the Sun... patient and watchful, remembers what was taken.</p><p></p><p>As the child begins to question the walls around her, Serilda must confront the truth she has buried beneath devotion: </p><p></p><p>Some cages are built from tenderness.</p><p>Some monsters are made slowly.</p><p>And some mothers do not realise what they have become until it is too late.</p><p></p><p>A dark and emotionally devastating reimagining of a classic fairy tale, told from the woman history chose to call a villain.</p><p></p>
