Escaping Wonderland

Alice knows, somewhere underneath the towering flowers and impossible logic, that Wonderland is a virtual world she's trapped in — placed there by an asylum commitment engineered by her evil stepmother, who wants the inheritance Alice's father left behind. With the Red King hunting her through the chaos, her only real hope of escape is Shadow, a mysterious, sharp-clawed being with a haunting grin who may be more dangerous than anyone else in Wonderland. Whether or not Wonderland itself is real, what's growing between Alice and Shadow very much is.
