The final gripping instalment of the New York Times best-selling trilogy The Looking Glass Wars from award-winning author and Hollywood film-maker Frank Beddor.

Behind a pack of cards are a pack of lies. Find out what really happened to Alice in Wonderland!

Unlike the comforting fairytale created by Lewis Carroll, the true story of Wonderland involves bloodshed, murder, revenge and war. The battle for Wonderland has been lost and the Heart Crystal’s power has been depleted thanks to King Arch’s devastating weapon, WILMA. Imagination has been wiped from the land and the people of Wonderland have lost their greatest asset. Most alarmingly, even Queen Alyss is without her powers as her Queendom hangs in the balance.

Can Alyss and those still faithful to her overcome their adversaries and restore order in Wonderland once and for all. Who’s holding all the cards now?
