The Root of Evil by Paula Gail Benson
The produce from a witch’s garden is
enchanted. A pregnant woman craving a rampion (greens, but perhaps the root
vegetable) led to her newborn daughter being imprisoned in the witch’s
inaccessible tower.
Only the daughter’s song, led to a
prince’s discovery.
The couple created a prison home
until the witch discovered them and, in anger, exiled her transformed charge
and maimed the transgressor, shoving him from the tower so he was blinded by the
thorn bed she cultivated below.
Guided by sound, he wandered. Then, once
again, he heard his beloved’s song, this time as a lullaby for their twins.© Paula Gail Benson, all rights reserved
