To Snap a Silver Stem is the explosive sequel of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom, a dark Rapunzel reimagining full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst..
Now, it\'s my prisoner.
Fear was my overlord.
Even if it costs me my life.
Crowned in the crippling weight of my mistakes, I must atone.
Why is he looking now when I\'ve got everything to hide? Secrets sprout, truths bloom, and more than one of us will Snap .

To bleed.
I want him to hurt
