In the heart-stirring conclusion to The Captive Maiden and the Wandering Knight, Rapunzel and Silence are faced with a challenge: Can their love be enough to face the world, or will the cruelty of the Enchantress- and humanity- inevitably rip them apart? And what is this “personal connection” Dr. Marche mentioned before?
