Overview

In this opening to the Rapunculus Series, Urdhr, an aging witch living alone in the Great Forest, uses magic to create for herself the perfect daughter and companion, Rapunculus. Rapunculus is a great beauty but sadly doesn't possess a functioning heart and is incapable of love or happiness. Rapunculus's beauty ultimately proves to be a problem however, when she attracts the attention of Circium, a handsome prince with narcissistic personality disorder, and his morbidly depressed stable boy, Fritz. Chaos quickly ensues, leading to a series of terrifying and hilarious misadventures in this twisted take on classic fairytales.
