Alice Fletcher survives the locket's awakening only to be wrenched across the Veil into Maeloria, a realm where four elemental courts bargain with storms and starlight. Her Ravenwood blood makes her a coveted prize, her raw magic a weapon everyone wants to claim.Kept under watch by a charming yet perilous prince and drilled in volatile spells by a rival mage, Alice learns that here every promise carries teeth. One slip could ignite a civil war-or bind her to a throne she never sought.On the mortal side of the Veil, Greyson Sylvaris and the shadow-guardian Caedmon hunt for a relic powerful enough to bring Alice home before the fragile gateway collapses. But Maeloria reshapes loyalties as easily as it bends light, and the longer Alice stays, the harder "home" is to define.Sorcery, court intrigue, and slow-burn tension collide in this second installment of the Wonderland Series, where choosing who to trust may cost more than magic itself.
