The Moon Princess: The Secret Life of Rapunzel’s Real Sister
She didn’t live in a tower — she lived on the moonlight’s edge.
In 1781, astronomer Johann Schröter documented something strange: a flicker of light on the moon that pulsed like a heartbeat. His journal, found centuries later, described a woman’s silhouette visible through his telescope — “a figure brushing her hair in silver light.”
Schröter’s assistant, Lisbeth Grün, vanished soon after. Her diary contained a final entry:
“She told me she was my sister. She said she fell when her hair burned away.”
Local archives reveal Lisbeth’s mother once gave birth to twins — one vanished after an electrical storm. For years, villagers said if you left your window open on a full moon, strands of white hair would drift in — soft, glowing, and ice-cold.
Some say Rapunzel never came down from her tower.
She just climbed higher.

The Ritual of Demand, Chapter Two
The subsequent phases of the solar cycle saw a tremendous change in Flashpower. He was a happier and more confident Mini-Flash all round. He lost his wan distracted look and his cheeks flushed with colour, the freckles on his snub nose standing out boldly. In class he could concentrate again, and his grades began to improve. Even his Flashball picked up a little, and when someone got the better of him he started taking it as any boy would, instead of getting his knickers in a twist. The adult Flashes all agreed Flashpower was finally getting the hang of being the age he was.
