About this eBook
The author of Alice takes readers back down the rabbit hole to a dark, twisted, and fascinating world based on the works of Lewis Carroll...
The land outside of the Old City was supposed to be green, lush, hopeful. A place where Alice could finally rest, no longer the plaything of the Rabbit, the pawn of Cheshire, or the prey of the Jabberwocky. But the verdant fields are nothing but ash—and hope is nowhere to be found.
Still, Alice and Hatcher are on a mission to find his daughter, a quest they will not forsake even as it takes them deep into the clutches of the mad White Queen and her goblin or into the realm of the twisted and cruel Black King.
The pieces are set and the game has already begun. Each move brings Alice closer to her destiny. But, to win, she will need to harness her newfound abilities and ally herself with someone even more powerful—the mysterious and vengeful Red Queen...

Absolutely Brilliant, Just As The Prequel! I Loved The Twist On A Fairytale Classic. I Will Be Buying These In Hardback To Add To My Collection, And To Be Able To Read Many Times Again! You Will Definitely Enjoy This Small Series, I'm Actually Disappointed That There Are No More Adventures To Follow Alice & Her Betrothed Mad Hatcher In.

I want to marry these books... or maybe just the author... since that'd be much less odd. But I am in love with Alice in Wonderland, and this is THE BEST RETELLING OF HER STORY EVER!!! yeah, it's a little twisted, but in an awesome, spine-tingling, hands shaking, heart pounding, incredibly creative way! But it's also really sweet too, and profound, and beautiful. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING IT, but read the first one first!

Loved it! I don't usually enjoy adventure books but I couldn't put this one down. Rooting for Hatcher & Alice the whole time!
