Tana Woodwolf holds the attention of the townspeople with her story. It's not a fairy tale; it's a true story. And it's her story.With his magic, the Wizard transports people to his remote tower. He forces them to work the land and serve his needs.Current prisoners pass on information to the new prisoners. First, do not try to escape. Second, if you do try to escape, the magical shield will stop you. And third, do not bring yourself to the attention of the Wizard. From time to time, prisoners are summoned to the Wizard's living quarters. They are never seen again."We had to provide for our own food and needs; if not we would simply wither away and die. Those were the options; live or die while we waited for our unknown destiny up there in the tower, which was most likely death."Natasja  Hellenthal's Chained Freedom is a short yet powerful paranormal mystery/fantasy. An important lesson is people many times fashion their own prisons. And they hold the power to free themselves.
