Being a member of the royal family doesn't always count as being lucky. For Tasha, being a princess is like a high class prisoner with royal guards for a warden and a beautiful palace as a prison cell. Wanting to experience life as a normal person, she ran away, but circumstances were such a tease and fate decided to pull a prank, making her meet a hot mafia leader whom she'll take refuge to keep her identity hidden from her pursuers. What can go wrong if the RUNAWAY PRINCESS meets the mafia boss? *not your typical fairy tale. ©All rights reserved Echo2014 (Aica) To give you heads up, yes this is a fantasy story.

"Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May (4 May), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on 4 November (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess.
