Princess Raizel’s fine giving her crown to the young blonde witch at her tower. Even if Gisela mocks R’s 75 ft long bushy brown hair. Or if Gisela courts the cute bard boy lured to the tower by soulmate-finding magic…Except his true soulmate is Raizel.

“What no one seems to understand about a princess whose hair is long enough to fall from window to base of a stone tower of soaring height, is that hair is very hard to maintain. A shining example of this concept is Princess Raizel of Cherta…”

This Rapunzel tale stars Princess Raizel (a.k.a. Raissa). Though her looks & ability are more like a Gothel (just ask her blonde witches). She loves singing, but Asher is the only one who won’t tease her for singing in a lower alto range (usually unheard of for singing fairytale princesses) #DVParty

Princess Raizel is stuck in her tower apart from the rest of Cherta, a land based on Eastern European folklore in this tale inspired by Rapunzel. Escaping the witches with her new crush Asher would bring her back into her kingdom of firebirds, enchanted guitars, and deadly prophecies. #PreDV

Despite the heroic prophecy about her, most think Princess Raizel’s a witch with bushy dark hair and a twisted back. Even she wants dainty blonde Gisela, who’s guarding her tower, to take the princess title. Then she discovers that Gisela’s “true love,” Ash, wants to escape with her instead. #PreDV

Raizel’s happy to remain in her tower to transfer her princess title to the daughter of the evil witch trapping her there. Then Raizel meets Ash, their cute new hired help. To escape the witches’ hold on her and her kingdom she must learn to trust him, and herself, before it’s too late. #PreDV

“The Golden Stair” is a Eastern Europe set YA fantasy inspired by Rapunzel. So Princess Raissa, aka Princess Raizel, has a Yiddish name with a similar spelling structure to Rapunzel.
Her love interest is named Ash (aka Asher) just because I thought the name sounded cool.
