When I completed
the writing of RED QUEEN in 2015 I thought I was finished with Alice and
Hatcher’s story. Alice and Hatcher would go on into the wilds of your
imagination. Their story would continue but it would remain unwritten.
Then, last year,
I heard a strange voice in my head, someone crying out – “Don’t do that, sister
of Alice!”
Sister of Alice, I thought. Who on earth is this sister of Alice?
Most of my
stories begin with a question that I want to answer, so I wrote a story so I
could find out about this sister of Alice.
And that got me wondering about what Alice and Hatcher were doing, so I
wrote two stories about their continuing adventures. Writing about Hatcher
prompted me to wonder about young Hatcher and his life before Alice, so I wrote
a story about that, too.
This collection was a labor of love, a last visit with two characters that have meant so much to me. I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve loved writing it.
You can find more information on each story below, as well as the GORGEOUS U.S. and U.K. covers and preorder links.
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…
