Artist Celio Cross vanished ten years ago. Now, his last painting is up for auction, and everyone in the art world wants to have it. 

Craig Wolff, curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is the only one whose life depends on it. He understands there is more to the painting than color and canvas. It is a way home to Suntaria, a world where fairy-tale characters live within reinterpreted stories, where a magic flute has the power to control nature and make wishes come true, where Craig's beloved wife and son still live. 

Desperate to return, Craig devises a plan to acquire the painting and curate a fairy-tale exhibit, hoping for a greater chance at leaping back to the world he knew. But when he's denied passage and Joel Cooper-a careless intern-mysteriously disappears and Emma Frost-Craig's assistant-soon follows, Craig is sucked into a whirlpool of lies and deceit that puts everyone in danger. 

Obsessed with finding a way home, he resorts to kidnapping and theft in order to defeat his enemies and finally reenter Suntaria where he finds it's not quite as he left it. With few allies left, he must pick up the pieces of a destroyed kingdom, hoping the magic he possesses will be enough to save it.

Hatter's Revenge (rewriting - read at own risk) by Jagermeanshunter

There are a few things you need to know about Wonderland. First off, completely misnamed. It should be Terrorland. People don't just accidentally tumble into Wonderland, it sucks them in. There is no following of cute white rabbits with pocket watches. Wonderland is dangerous and you can lose a lot more than your head if you're not careful. Second, the Hearts are in control, but they shouldn't be. The throne of Wonderland rightfully belongs to the Spade heir. But he's currently missing. Third, and probably most important, is that Madison Hatter is NOT a native of Wonderland. He was yanked through a mirror many years ago and has been trying to survive Wonderland ever since. Now he has an idealistic young Real-Worlder on his hands and a rebellion in his heart. Mad is going to remove that Heart Queen if it's the last thing he does. She's the one who stole him from his life all those years ago and he's been waiting for the moment when he can tear her life to shreds in repayment. Beautiful cover made by StormRidden **Warning** I thought it fair to warn potential readers that there is gun violence in this story. If this is something that really bothers you, I would avoid this book. Otherwise please enjoy. Copyright © 2017
