Fans of Chloe Gong and Judy I. Lin will devour this Korean-inspired Alice in Wonderland retelling about two very wicked girls, forever bonded by blood and betrayal . . .
In a world where Saints are monsters and Wonderland is the dark Forest where they lurk, young witches and lovers Carousel Rabbit and Iccadora Alice Sickle were once both imprisoned in that Forest for a crime they didn’t commit. But their freedom came at a devastating cost.
Now, five years later, Caro is a successful royal Saint-harvester, living the high life in the glittering capital and pretending not to know of the twisted monster experiments that her beloved Red Queen hides deep in the bowels of the palace. But for Icca, the memory of Caro’s betrayal has hardened her from timid girl to ruthless hunter. A hunter who will stop at nothing to exact her vengeance: On Caro. On the Queen. On the throne itself.
But there’s a secret about the Saints the Queen’s been guarding, and a volatile magic at play even more dangerous to Icca and Caro than they are to each other. . . .
Fierce, fantastical, and utterly uncanny, this Korean-inspired reimagining of Alice in Wonderland by author Zoe Hana Mikuta will send readers down a dizzying rabbit hole and into a world drenched in blood and betrayal.
Zoe Hana Mikuta is the author of the YA sci-fi Gearbreakers duology. She recently graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in creative writing and is currently based in Seattle. She drinks at least two cups of tea a day and can be found stealing herbs from her neighbors’ gardens. Find her online at www.ZoeHanaMikuta.com and Instagram @ZoeHanaMikuta
