To Bleed A Crystal Bloom by Sarah A Parker [Paperback]

The Crown of Oaths and Curses (more commonly known as the first book in the Crystal Bloom series) is a dark fantasy retelling of the Rapunzel fairy tale. The story follows Orlaith, a mysterious young woman who was rescued as a child from a massacre and raised within the confines of a secluded castle by a powerful and secretive High Master. Sheltered from the outside world and bound by strange rules, she develops an intense, forbidden attachment to her protector. As monstrous threats emerge and long-buried secrets surface, Orlaith discovers that her past, her identity, and the nature of her imprisonment are far more terrifying than she ever imagined.
