SYNOPSIS:

A dark and epic Rapunzel retelling for the fans of Eragon, Throne of Glass and Red Queen 

A BROKEN-HEARTED GIRL who finds her strength.
A NOT VERY HEROIC PRINCE who can’t decide between two sisters.
A KING WHO HAS BEEN LYING TO HIS PEOPLE and will do everything in his power to keep the magic in the world.
A GRUMPY WIZARD with mysterious reasons to partner up with a GOOD-HEARTED WARRIOR to go against the king and change a millennial tradition.
ALLIANCES EMERGE AND ENEMY SIDES CLASH when for the first time magic is gone and the fate of Tornnis lies in the hands of the winner. 

For ten years, Sophie has been confined on the Island of the Tower.

For as long as she can remember, she has patiently accepted her isolation, though she craves freedom. She serves a greater purpose and her yearning for freedom will soon be satisfied. At least that is what Dorian tells her — her only visitor, whom she loves deeply and trusts blindly. In a few days she will turn seventeen and, on this day, she will finally leave the Tower to achieve something great.

However, when she learns that her fate will be much crueler than what Dorian made her believe, Sophie realizes that he is not the Prince Charming from the fairy-tales she has been reading. Even worse, Sophie seemingly can do nothing to change her bleak future, as the tremendous powers trapping her on the Island are far too strong for her to break through.

Sophie’s hope is then reignited when two mysterious men manage to reach her in her beautiful prison, just a few days before her Last Day. To them she is an integral part of a greater plan. To her, they are a way to escape, so Sophie agrees to flee with them to Tornnis, the magical lands across the sea.

On her journey, Sophie will have to run from a tyrant king and his massive army of soldiers and wizards while discovering a frightening yet amazing new world, brand new feelings, and powers she never imagined possessing. Allied with a band of outcasts she equally admires and despises, Sophie will struggle to become the hero they expect her to be. After all, saving Tornnis won’t be easy when it means loving a family member she has no memory of, as well as giving up on the only person she ever loved.

The Girl of the Tower is an epic adventure loosely inspired by the Rapunzel fairy tale, full of magic, romance, battles, drama and thrilling escapes, perfect for those who like YA high fantasy series such as Eragon, The Remnant Chronicles, Falling Kingdoms, Throne of Glass and Red Queen.

LITTLE PREVIEW…

“That evening was not a very busy one in the Glass Palace. There were no meetings the king had to attend, no localities in Tornnis requiring his presence, nor letters or documents to sign. When he had those rare moments of tranquility, he would go to the Throne Room to reflect, thereby becoming available to anyone who needed to talk to him.

Never completely available though, as he would command the guards and servants not to let just anyone in, especially if they had come from the city. People should not think that they had the right to speak with their king whenever they wished. Sometimes it was necessary to be harsh in order to avoid others taking advantage of these occasions. A reclusive king was more respectable than an accessible one, and by keeping this attitude he could avoid attempts on his life, which were not unlikely in these troubled times.

The king was sitting on his diamond throne, a huge single stone carved to suit the shape of a chair. The backrest, made of several natural tips, was so high that it would serve an occupant twenty heads taller.

He had been sitting there for around two hours, since shortly before sunset. Earlier he had taken care of personal matters, and after that he had talked about strategies with his closest soldiers. He had already decided how to ambush the group that considered itself too clever hiding north of the mountains. The next day they would know the price of ignoring his laws — and perhaps he would gain some valuable information from a deserter as a reward…”

 

REVIEWS AND COMMENTS FROM READERS:

“This book was absolutely lovely! I really enjoyed the fact that it didn’t have a common plot and that it was different from most YA fantasy books. The characters and world were so beautifully and well written that I could clearly picture the characters and their environment. Definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys YA fantasy.” – Breagh Stirling (bookstagram: @fangirl_lovesbooks)
