What If Wonderland Were Real?
Alyssa
has always hated the story of Alice In Wonderland, not because of its
confounded whimsy and ridiculous fantasy, but because of Alice herself.
The story of her great great great grandmother's adventures down a
rabbit hole is more than just a fairytale; it is a curse to every female
born after her.
All the women in Alyssa's family have been a
little crazy; her own mother is in an institution for refusing to eat
anything not served in a tea cup, and for having conversations with
flowers and insects. But more worrying is that Alyssa is also able to
hear the insects speak. So if she is to save her mother and break the
curse on her family, she will have to venture down the rabbit hole.
Splintered
returns to Wonderland, only not as you may have imagined it. A
dangerous place, darker and more chaotic then anyone was ever led to
believe. This twisted wonderland is Alyssa's only hope to break a family
curse and save her mother from a torturous fate. A fanciful story that
turns a much loved fairytale classic onto its head, creating something
new, crazy and romantic.
