Wonderland's true tale: royal intrigue, dark twists.

If you've ever imagined a Wonderland that's tangibly gripping, with political chess games and darker, more realistic stakes, "The Looking Glass Wars" will captivate you. Frank Beddor reimagines Alice's adventures as a high-stakes, emotional quest for justice, imbued with familiar characters now cast in the light of heroes and villains in a battle for a throne. An inventive take on a classic story that's perfect for those craving a fantastical yet mature narrative.

Description

Alyss of Wonderland?When Alyss Heart, heir to the Wonderland throne, must flee through the Pool of Tears to escape the murderous aunt Redd, she finds herself lost and alone in Victorian London. Befriended by an aspiring author named Lewis Carrol, Alyss tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Alyss trusts this author to tell the truth so that someone, somewhere will find her and bring her home. But he gets the story all wrong. He even spells her name incorrectly!Fortunately, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan knows all too well the awful truth of Alyss' story and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may eventually battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.The Looking Glass Wars unabashedly challenges our Wonderland assumptions surrounding mad tea parties, grinning Cheshire cats, and a curious little blond girl to reveal an epic battle in the endless war for Imagination.
