It's 1914, and talk of war feels far away to Henry Gaunt, Sidney Ellwood and the rest of their classmates, safely ensconced in their idyllic boarding school in the English countryside. At seventeen, they're too young to enlist, and anyway, Gaunt is fighting his own private battle - an all-consuming infatuation with his best friend, the dreamy, poetic Ellwood - not having a clue that Ellwood is in love with him, always has been. When Gaunt's German mother asks him to enlist as an officer in the British army to protect the family from anti-German attacks, Gaunt signs up immediately.

She's heard about what sex is supposed to be like, but has never felt anything remotely close to what she's read about in runaway bestselling books.

I didn't come to this bizarre, intoxicating place looking for trouble, but I've sure as hell found it. As the Queen retaliates viciously against the Spades' rebellion, it's up to me and the three alluring men I've allied with to save Wonderland before so many innocents lose their heads. Easier said than done. With Hatter tapping into his inner Mad, Chess pulling a vanishing act, and the White Knight revealing secrets darker than I could have imagined, everything I counted on here has turned upside down. When the swords come out, will I even be able to save myself?

Three keys to claiming Wonderland's throne: 1. Win over the citizens (who are caught up in a drug-fueled daze). 2. Recover the magical artifacts of my royal line (which are hidden behind a squad of brutal guards). 3.

But my people and my lovers are counting on me. I won't give up this wondrous land. There's a new queen in town. The Hearts and Diamonds had better get ready to bow down.

Eliza flees her parent's political machinations only to stumble into another world and the arms of a man named Finn, who declares her the next Alice.

Not to mention he'll lose his head if he fails. For Eliza to get home and Finn to survive, they'll have to navigate two treacherous courts and their growing feelings for one another, while trying to unravel the curse that forces the Carroll women to journey to Wonderland.
