By Interviews With Writers

Reclaiming Ryda by Rachel Rossano

Rydaria lives as a prisoner in a tower library. Captured as a child, her past is a mystery. Maintaining the literary treasures within her care, she studies the world through books that give her a glimpse of the freedom she craves.

A scribe by trade, Crispin has devoted the last three years of his life seeking the lost heir of Avalene. He travels to Worthenave’s famed library in hopes of finding the key. Instead, he discovers a new mystery, a beautiful librarian who is locked in with her books every night.

As the days pass, Crispin must choose. Rydaria’s precarious situation is deteriorating. Meanwhile, his duty demands he leave before the Duke of Worthenave uncovers his quest. Still, the scribe can’t bring himself to abandon the captive in the library tower, even if it costs him his mission.

Inspired by Rapunzel and East of the Sun West of the Moon


Targeted Age Group:: 14+
Heat/Violence Level: Heat Level 1 – G Rated Clean Read

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Reclaiming Ryda began as a retelling of Rapunzel, but as I wrote, it morphed into its own creation inspired by the classic fairy tale with elements of East of the Sun West of the Moon thrown into the mix.

How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
Various ways. In the case of Reclaiming Ryda, it was an idea of what would make months in a tower tolerable and the first idea that came to mind was if it also included a library. Ryda, my captive librarian came to life. Her hero was more inspired by the usual hero from East of the Sun West of the Moon, a bear. Crispin has many bear-like qualities and references, but he is only a man.
