    About this ebook

    A Rapunzel retelling with a twist.
    Rapunzel has always lived in her tower, and Mother is the only other person she has ever known. Her heart begins to yearn for more when she dreams about freedom and roaming the jungle.
    Ian Huntsman has lost the purpose of his life, and once again, he is without a home. He is looking for a place to settle down when he comes across an isolated tower deep in the jungle. Now his life is about to be turned upside down.

    Fizza Younis

    Dr. Fizza Younis resides in the vibrant city of Lahore, Pakistan, where her journey through life has been as diverse as her country. With a Ph.D. in economics, she has delved deep into the intricate webs of financial theory, but the enchanting realms of fiction and poetry have captured her heart. As a dedicated indie author and ardent reader, she revels in the art of storytelling, crafting narratives that transcend the boundaries of her academic pursuits. Rooted in the principles of minimalism, equality, and harmony, her writing reflects her steadfast beliefs. Her stories are both mirrors of her philosophy and windows into the lives of intriguing characters navigating the labyrinth of existence. In her world, characters come alive, and their misadventures resonate with humanity's shared joys and tribulations. She sprinkles love and encouragement with every word, creating a cocoon of empathy and connection that envelops her readers. Though she might describe herself as an average person leading a mundane existence, Fizza is nothing short of spectacular in the world of fiction. Join her on a journey through the written word, where ordinary lives take on extraordinary hues, and the essence of humanity is distilled into every sentence.

      About the Author

      Also by Fizza Younis

      Forewords

      Once upon a time, there was a story I desperately wanted to read but no one wrote it. I decided to write it myself. That’s how Somewhere in Time came into existence—my very first fairytale retelling. Sleeping Beauty’s tale soon became my most read work and I thought why not write more retellings?

      Through Time is a retelling of Rapunzel with a twist. It’s a Snow White and Rapunzel crossover. The story is a standalone, but if you want to know more about Huntsman’s origin then read The Mirror, which is a retelling of Snow White.

      Although, all three works are separate short stories, some characters overlap. They have different flavors and give different reading experiences to the readers. However, if you enjoy fairytales or fantasy in general, then these stories are for you.

      When I write, I usually have only one intention i.e. to create something fun and lighthearted that everyone can enjoy. Also, knowing that everything isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, my only hope is that at least one person can genuinely say that this story changed him or her. As a writer, there is no greater honor.

      Always with love, Fizza Younis

      Chapter One: Into the Jungle

      This feeling wasn't new to him. Ian Huntsman often felt alone in the world. Orphaned at a young age, he struggled to find his place until the day he met the Queen and went to live at the palace.

      People often saw him as her lackey, but the truth was, she always treated him as a son and then as a friend. Only he was privy to the extent of the mirror's hold on her. She wasn't evil, and neither was he. Mere humans couldn't defy the mirror's magic. Well, what happened next was no longer a secret. He sighed feeling miserable at the turn of events, even though he had happily played his role of the betrayer—something he could
