About this ebook

In four new novellas, Christina Henry returns to the world of Alice and Red Queen, where magic runs as freely as secrets and blood.

Lovely Creature
In the New City lives a girl with a secret: Elizabeth can do magic. But someone knows her secret--someone who has a secret of his own. That secret is a butterfly that lives in a jar, a butterfly that was supposed to be gone forever, a butterfly that used to be called the Jabberwock...

Girl in Amber
Alice and Hatcher are just looking for a place to rest. Alice has been dreaming of a cottage by a lake and a field of wildflowers, but while walking blind in a snowstorm she stumbles into a house that only seems empty and abandoned...

When I First Came to Town
Hatcher wasn't always Hatcher. Once, he was a boy called Nicholas, and Nicholas fancied himself the best fighter in the Old City. No matter who fought him he always won. Then his boss tells him he's going to battle the fearsome Grinder, a man who never leaves his opponents alive...

The Mercy Seat
There is a place hidden in the mountains, where all the people hate and fear magic and Magicians. It is the Village of the Pure, and though Alice and Hatcher would do anything to avoid it, it lies directly in their path...

Ratings and reviews

I am absolutely in love with the Alice series. By far one of my very favorites, I rated The Looking Glass 4 stars simply bc while I loved it, I wished for just a bit more. After reading this third book I'm still left wanting more, only now my more has changed into what becomes of Elizabeth, I'd love to hear Cheshire's story after all he is the man of many stories himself, and of course the never ending question of what becomes of Alice & Hatcher. I'd love one more installment that touches on Elizabeth and the baby of course (is it part magician, does it have the Sight, is it wild, or just as normal as normal can be). I'd also love a spin off of sorts into Cheshire's story and his many stories...Christina Henry You Have Done It Again, Your Mind & Hand Are Brilliant, and I Hope To Read More In The Future. BTW I Have Read and Re-read the Alice Series 4 Times (With More To Come I'm Sure) Bc It Delights Me So, And I Never Grow Old Of It! Thank You!! 😊

I loved every second of this book.

Just wonderful
