For centuries, Wonderland thrived as the domain of beautiful bedlam and unapologetic madness. It was a place like no other. All it took was one girl slipping in through the cracks of the universe to start chaos spiraling toward order. In the 150 years since Alice’s visit, the realm has become tainted—almost normal. Rabbits in waistcoats and playing card minions are little more than creatures of myth, and Wonderland is literally falling to pieces. For Gwen, Rose, and Lucky, Wonderland is home, and yet they know little of its former glory. When the Alice prophecy resurfaces, they’ll have one chance to use Wonderland’s own legends to bring a little mayhem back into their reality. For she who controls Alice controls the fate of Wonderland.

Welcome to the battlefield, welcome to the war. In war, everyone is a pawn, maneuvered by those greater than themselves to achieve victory. Witness those I use as pawns, see if you are able to solve the mystery before it unravels at your feet. The prisoner, the jailer, the servant, the teacher, the brother, each serves a purpose in my plan. You fear the things you do not understand, almost as much as you fear learning the truth. So ignorant you humans are. Read the truth within these pages, pretend it is fiction if you wish to remain ignorant. Such delusions only grant the Arcane more power. But to those who believe these words, follow my whispers, seek me out. As the king says, the flame will enlighten or consume.
