But you see, this tale isn't like that. Because in this one, when Adelais finds the white rabbit, it's already dead. Just like every person in the land it takes her to.

And although there are many wondrous creatures lurking in the Wood, they're far more interested in carving out her heart than offering her tea.

In a world with missing souls and a ruler painted in blood, Adelais knows she shouldn't trust anyone. Especially Terek, the man cloaked in shadows and blades, who always seems to know when she's around.

But when the Crimson Queen puts a bounty on Adelais's soul, Terek might just be the only person in the entire Underland who can protect her.

From everyone...but himself.
