A word of warning to my readers:
...the true story of Wonderland involves bloodshed, murder, revenge and war. I apologise in advance to those of you who might find some of the scenes in this book distressing, but I feel it's important that the facts are set down as they actually happened. Those of you of a more sensitive disposition might prefer reading Lewis Carrol's classic fairytale.

Découvrant son pays dans un triste état, elle se lance à la conquête du trône, avec l'aide du chapelier Hatter, du précepteur Bibwit Harte, de la Tour blanche et de Dodge, son ami d'enfance assoiffé de vengeance ...

Work Description
The Myth: Alice was an ordinary girl who stepped through the looking glass and entered a fairy-tale world invented by Lewis Carroll in his famous storybook.
The Truth: Wonderland is real. Alyss Heart is the heir to the throne, until her murderous aunt Redd steals the crown and kills Alyss' parents. To escape Redd, Alyss and her bodyguard, Hatter Madigan, must flee to our world through the Pool of Tears.
But in the pool Alyss and Hatter are separated. Lost and alone in Victorian London, Alyss is befriended by an aspiring author to whom she tells the violent, heartbreaking story of her young life. Yet he gets the story all wrong.
Hatter Madigan knows the truth only too well, and he is searching every corner of our world to find the lost princess and return her to Wonderland so she may battle Redd for her rightful place as the Queen of Hearts.
