When the Doctor boots the Master out of Hogwarts, he expects his nemesis to land somewhere dangerous. He doesn't expect Wonderland.
Following a ragged scar through the vortex, the Third Doctor arrives on the banks of a river that flows the wrong way, in a world built from one girl's dreaming mind. Wonderland is starting to come apart at the seams just as Alice is about to wake up - and someone has been whispering to the Queen of Hearts that it doesn't have to end.
Now calling himself the Royal Timekeeper, the Master has found the perfect hiding place: a story that resets itself. If he can freeze Wonderland in a single stretched moment "just before Alice goes home", he can trap the girl, harvest her stolen futures and use her dream as a timeless refuge outside reality.
Teaming up with a sharp-tongued Alice, a mad Hatter who accidentally offended Time, and all the stubborn logic he can muster, the Doctor must survive a rigged trial, a furious Queen, and a collapsing dreamscape to stop the Master from pinning Wonderland to his own clock face.
If the Master wins, Alice will never wake up - and one child's stolen future might be enough to let him rewrite everyone else's.
