Being the heir to Camelot is a tangled mess.
Rapunzel has spent her entire life living in Merlin's cave on the coast of Cornwall. Under the protection of her faerie guardian, Gothel, she's stayed safe. Safe and bored. Dreaming of a life that looks more like a Jane Austen novel, Rapunzel fears she'll never have the chance to explore the world. Or meet a man. Or be kissed. Or anything else remotely resembling normal.
When Red Cape Society Agent Ewan Goodwin's monster-stalking device leads him to Rapunzel—and her unusual pets—the pair's destinies entwine. Together, they must solve a mystery tied to the very roots of King Arthur's Britannia.
Golden Braids and Dragon Blades is a retelling of the classic Rapunzel fairy tale set in New York Times best-selling author Melanie Karsak's fairy tale universe. Golden Braids and Dragon Blades novel is a standalone fairy tale in a shared magical, fairy tale world.
