Before Rapunzel was born a deal was made between her mother and a sorceress, Melisande. The deal was that if Rapunzel's mother did not lover her child just as she was then Melisande would be able to take her. Melisande took the child when she was born and raised her almost as her own daughter.

Sixteen years later, Melisande admits that she has a daughter and she hopes that Rapunzel can free her daughter from a tower where a wizard placed her. Rapunzel has only two nights with the day in between to figure out how to accomplish this or Melisande's daughter will be trapped forever.
