Princess Alyss Heart is heir to the throne of Wonderland. After her aunt Redd murders Alyss's parents, Alyss escapes to Lewis Carroll's England; thirteen years later, she returns to lead resistance fighters against Redd's tyranny. Imagination as power propels this fantastical (and violent) re-creation of Carroll's world. Whimsy and pain movingly intertwine and characters deepen as the pages fly by. Timeline.
