Through the looking glass, the dead rise-and love becomes the most dangerous reflection of all.
Alice Pleasance Liddell steps once more into Underland, guided by the enigmatic, undead Charles Dodgson. Now a woman grown, Alice faces uncomfortable truths about her society and her family within the haunting echoes of Through the Looking-Glass. Amid whispers of rebellion and a deadly new strain of the zombie plague, Alice confronts the shadows of her past and the peril of her heart.
As gaslamps flicker and secrets fester, the Reverend Mr. Dodgson reveals his true nature behind the congenial, charming zombie who once entertained Alice and her sisters-not just man, not just monster, but someone who has learnt to navigate the line between both.
Alice has avoided him for years, trying to escape the fame of being that Alice, questions about the famous Reverend Mr. Dodgson (whom she hasn't spoken to for years), and nasty rumors fostered by her mother. And yet face him she must, caught between her forbidden love for Prince Leopold and her tangled bond with the mysterious Dodgson. The line between friend and foe blurs in the gloom.
Alice must face the ultimate question: Is love-is life itself-worth the price of her soul?
As the undead rise and betrayal surrounds her, she must decide whether to rewrite her fate-or let the shadows consume her.
Return to Underland-where the undead reign, hearts break, and wonder turns to dread.
