The Novel
Wonderland was only the beginning.
London, 1913. Alice Liddell is confined to Pastoria House, treated for visions her doctors call delusions. But Pastoria House is no asylum — it is a hidden haven for young witches, and no one within its walls is more closely guarded than Alice. Her dreams are not madness. They are prophecy.
Then she meets Wendolyn Darling — locked away, like Alice, for dreaming. Wendy speaks of a boy named Peter and an island that cannot be found, with a certainty Alice envies. Then Wendy vanishes — and Alice flees the only way left to her: through a mirror, into Oz.
Hunted by Princess Languidere, who collects the heads of beautiful women and inherits their dreams; the exiled witch Mombi; the clawed gnome legions that rise from the wells; and a fallen demigod beneath a crystal palace, Alice crosses the realm with a shape-shifting prince, an ingenious inventor, a spunky Munchkin, and a wild dragon she names Dinah — searching for the Great Witch of the North, and for a truth that will unmake everything she believes about who she is.
“An incredibly fresh and imaginative page-turner, with amazing action and magic… despicable villains, and a heroine you can't help but cheer for. Terence Sullivan is a brilliant storyteller.”
