| What happened after the happily ever after? You all know the story of Alice in Wonderland, but did you ever wonder what happened after the fairytale ending? Well we know. Not all afters end up happily, sometimes the real adventure starts much later... The citizens of The Forge live in the long shadow of the memory of the late Queen of Hearts and her strict enforcement of the aesthetic code. Miss Ivy Rowntree is one of the city's inspectors, but her true passion lies in making pocket watches—she's never met a watch she couldn't fix, or a puzzle she couldn't solve. That is, until Ivy is commissioned to 'fix' an antique pocket watch that hasn't worked for 18 years. To make matters worse, the city's clock tower strikes suddenly back to life and the late Queen's soldiers are sighted on the streets, inducing fear in the hearts of the citizens. Even riddles of a long dead Queen are nothing to the puzzle of the dark-eyed stranger haunting her dreams… Following famous fairytale characters, eighteen years after their happily ever after, the Kingdom of Fairytales offers an edge of the seat thrill ride in an all new and sensational way to read. |
