Description
The third book in a darkly romantic Rapunzel reimagining from the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of WHEN THE MOON HATCHED.
It's not in my nature to beg, but I'll stay on my knees until I feel that flame sputter out.
And then ...
I'll rip the world to shreds.
I've tumbled into a darkness so deep it's hard to see the light, my petals curling inward as I tip my face from the sun. Hide from my monstrous actions.
Traitor. Murderer.
High Mistress.
My mistakes hunt me down, and I'm pulled into a political tug-of-war, balancing Ocruth's welfare on the edge of a bloody blade. The moon is swelling, the weight on my shoulders compacting, and my unfailing curiosity keeps weaving its roots in the wrong direction.
Horrible truths unravel, casting explosive light on everything I thought I knew. I'll have no choice but to shed my morals, my withering self-preservation, and sow the seed of a plan set to bloom beneath a bloated moon.
One wrong move could destroy everything.
Destroy me.
Lines will blur, blood will spill, and I'll learn how fragile I really am - at a cost far greater than I could have imagined.
Fate is a ravenous beast, and there's only so far I can run.
To Flame a Wild Flower is the third book in the Crystal Bloom series - a dark fantasy romance full of immersive imagery and breathtaking angst.
A new 2026 edition of the dark romantasy Rapunzel reimagining from the No.1 SUNDAY TIMES best-selling author of WHEN THE MOON HATCHED
About the Author
Sarah A. Parker is an international bestselling author who grew up on a farm in New Zealand, where she spent her days getting lost amongst the rolling pasture, building forts in the hedge, climbing trees, and exploring the forest pathways - making up elaborate stories that never lost their grip on her. She now lives in Australia with her husband, dog, three children, and countless plants, and spends her days pouring her stories onto paper rather than throwing them to the wind. Her genre of choice is epic fantasy romance, and she thrives off dreaming up real, complex characters and immersive worlds to get lost amongst.
