What if no one saved Rapunzel from the tower?

In a world on the brink of collapse, the kingdoms teeter on the edge of destruction as the Dreamworld, a realm of nightmares, threatens to merge with reality. Rapunzel is their last hope—but she’s far from a heroine. Once the villain of her own story, she’s been locked away not in a tower, but in the prison of her own heart, burdened by the weight of her dark past.

She runs into Finn, a roguish thief with a dangerous charm, who becomes an unwitting ally in her quest. Together, they must steal a legendary dagger that holds the key to her plan. But as they journey deeper into the darkness, Rapunzel learns that some battles can’t be fought alone. In accepting Finn’s help, she begins to break the chains of her past and discovers that true strength lies not in shouldering burdens alone, but in sharing them.

But to save the kingdoms from being consumed by the Dreamworld, Rapunzel must confront her greatest enemy: herself.
