Summary

The first novel in Colleen Oakes’s epic, imaginative and twisted series, perfect for fans of Dorothy Must Die and Heartless, tackles the origin of one of the most infamous villains—the Queen of Hearts.

This is not the story of the Wonderland we know. Alice has not fallen down a rabbit hole. This is a Wonderland where beneath each smile lies a secret, each tart comes with a demand, and only prisoners tell the truth.

Dinah is the princess who will one day reign over Wonderland. She has not yet seen the dark depths of her kingdom; she longs only for her father’s approval and a future with the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and threatens her throne, she is launched into Wonderland’s dangerous political game. Dinah must stay one step ahead of her cunning enemies or she’ll lose not just the crown but her head.

Don’t miss Blood of Wonderland, the must-read sequel to Dinah’s story!

Editorial Reviews

“Oakes continues to weave literary magic as she pulls you down the rabbit hole into a Wonderland like you’ve never [heard] before.” —Chanda Hahn, New York Times bestselling author

“Oakes gives the Queen of Hearts an origin story in this deliciously dark tale…Fans of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland will enjoy the twists Oakes gives to familiar characters…Heart-stopping action makes the pages fly, and Dinah’s struggle to stay true to herself amid impossible expectations resonates.” —Publishers Weekly

“This latest in fairy tales retold makes the classic villain less villainous by showing her tenderhearted backstory. Familiar faces from the original story are here, developed alongside new characters. The reader is quickly warned that ‘evil is rising in Wonderland,’ and that hook alone will draw readers.” —Booklist

“A wonderfully entertaining twist on an old classic.” —Kirkus Reviews
