Edigna flees an arranged marriage and creates a home in the hollow of a linden tree. She illuminates manuscripts for a nearby abbey, and as she becomes a legendary story told round fires, she begins to lose her grip on the physical world. She doesn’t want to be only a story: she wants to be a body too. An enchanting short story that reimagines the medieval legend of Edigna of Puch as the original Rapunzel, for fans of V. E. Schwab’s \u003cem\u003eInvisible Life of Addie LaRue\u003c\/em\u003e, Naomi Novik’s \u003cem\u003eUprooted\u003c\/em\u003e, and Susanna Clarke’s \u003cem\u003ePiranesi\u003c\/em\u003e. Inspired by the surprising blue fragments of lapis lazuli found by archeologists in the remains of a medieval woman’s teeth, \u003cem\u003eBlue Beyond the Sea\u003c\/em\u003e is a rewrite of the history of women in art.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA cloudshadow fell over the tree, so the eerie blue glow of dawn shaded the branches ash and smoke. I thought of that tale of a girl abandoned in a tower, the one with the coils of yellow hair trailing down like vines rooting into the earth. Maybe she hadn’t been trapped there—maybe she’d climbed up herself.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLaura Vogt writes historical fiction, fabulism, and poetry.
