About the Book
The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking
glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his
famous storybook.
The Truth: Wonderland is real.
Alyss Heart is the heir
to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills
Alyss's parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter
Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears. But in the
pool Alyss and Hatter are separated. Lost and alone in Victorian London,
Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the
violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Yet he gets the story
all wrong. Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is
searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return
her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as the
Queen of Hearts.
