Imogen Zezinger did not get swept up in a tornado. She did not fly out of a window or climb through a wardrobe... or fall down a rabbit hole. She simply took a wrong turn. When a confusing drive through the Italian countryside leads Zez into a land called Tol Tava, she knows that her adventure has begun. The world she has stumbled across is filled with the beauty of an everlasting night, hills that stretch towards the heavens, prisons buried beneath the earth, and an overgrown manor of serpents. She is taken into the home of the Viper, a beautiful woman who proclaims that Zez is the answer to a bitter blood feud. So, Zez shrugs and accepts this strange new destiny. In a bright yellow Fiat, with an alluring queen of snakes, Imogen Zezinger takes off through the hills of Tol Tava. A fantastic journey stretches before her and she may play hero, learn that things are never what they seem, and embark on the adventure of a lifetime. (This story is loosely based on Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.) Cover by @anonymousmlpfan
