Book Summary
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? 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.
