They call me the dagger. I'm a famed assassin. It's all I've ever known. So when a white rabbit tells me that loved ones are waiting for me in the Wonderland Court of Faerie, it's surprising. And then, I learn something even more shocking. The Red Queen stole the crown from my mother-who she murdered. The queen singlehandedly created my reality of death and blood and murder. While that's devastating, I can handle it. As long as I get revenge. What I don't know how to handle is Henri Hatter. He's a rebel leader loved by everyone. A man who sings in the streets because people ask for aether's sake. A faerie who knows more about my past than anyone-including me. A good man who could crush my heart if I let him in. Which I can't do. Not if I want vengeance against the Queen who ruined my life. Despite my claims that I work alone, Hatter and two nosey little pixies insist on sticking with me. Only one thing is for sure, with them by my side assassinating the Red Queen will be unlike any other job I've ever tackled.
