Alice had been best friends with James King since they were old enough to walk. James' older brother, Mark, had become friends with Alice's older sister, Lorraine. On the eve of Mark's sixteenth birthday, he disappears. Just disappears. Into nothing. Two years later, on the eve of James' sixteenth birthday, he also disappears. Months pass, and Alice and Lorraine find nothing, no trace of Mark or James. Alice is devastated. She and James did everything together. Now he's gone, and she has nothing. But there is one place she forgot to look. One place of life and wonder. The Queen's land. The world of Wonderland. And there's a war going on that only Alice can stop.
