With her strange black eyes and even stranger fainting spells, young Haelewise has never quite fit in. Shunned by her village, her only solace lies in the stories her mother tells of child-stealing witches, of princes in wolf-skins, and of an ancient tower cloaked in mist, where women will find shelter if they are brave enough to seek it. When her mother dies, Haelewise is left unmoored. With nothing left for her in her village, she sets out to find the legendary tower her mother spoke of -- a place called Gothel, where she meets a wise woman willing to take Haelewise under her wing. There, she discovers that magic is found not only in the realm of fairy tales. But Haelewise is not the only woman to seek refuge at Gothel. It's also a haven for a girl named Rika, who carries with her a secret the church strives to keep hidden. A secret that reveals a dark world of ancient spells and murderous nobles behind the world Haelewise has always known. 650 0 $a Rapunzel (Tale) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Witches $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Magic $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Germany $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Fantasy fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Witch fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Adaptations. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20240302012426.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8E13C980D86411EE9510A68C40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
