Marked by a strange power she does not understand, she quickly learns that refusal is the deadliest kind of magic. And Wonderland is watching. Drawn into the shadows is the Hatter—a man as dangerous as he is magnetic. His riddles cut like knives, his loyalty hides behind smirks, and his blades are always sharp. To the Queen, he is a traitor. To Alice, he may be salvation…or temptation. In a world where bargains are blood-bound and romance is tangled with ruin , Alice must decide whether to trust the man who unsettles her heart, or resist him before she loses more than her crown—before she loses herself. As Alice navigates a land of whispering cards, storm-tossed moons, and roses blooming with thorns, she faces a choice that will determine not just her fate, but the fate of Wonderland itself.
