They call me the dagger.

I’m an assassin and that’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 of Wonderland from my mother. Murdered her too. The queen singlehandedly created my reality of death and blood and murder.

While that’s devastating, I can handle those emotions. Its what I have been trained to do.

What I don’t know how to handle is rebel leader Henri Hatter.

He’s 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.

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.

Alice the Dagger is a YA Fae epic fantasy. Readers of Tessonja Odette, Melanie Cellier, and Marissa Meyer who love adventure, slow-burn romances, whimsical worlds, spunky sidekicks, and lots of action will love Alice the Dagger.

Some inventions change the world. Others send it straight to hell…

When Kurt Jacobs imagines the ultimate gadget — one capable of replacing phones, credit cards, keys and TVs — the idea consumes his every waking moment. When the Sycamore corporation buys into Kurt’s creation and The Seed becomes a reality, his every dream comes true.

Power like this has never existed.

The launch of The Seed, a powerful microchip implant that turns each user’s palm into a fully functioning trackpad and effectively turns them into walking computers, breaks all sales records. Alongside the augmented reality UltraLenses which act as the system’s display, it immediately renders all handheld devices obsolete.
