Off With Their Heads BY Zoe Hana Mikuta

In a world where Saints are monsters and Wonderland is the dark forest where they lurk, young witches Caro Rabbit and Iccadora Alice Sickle were once lovers, bonded by blood and betrayal. Five years ago, they were sentenced to Wonderland for a crime they didn’t commit. Four years ago, they shattered each other’s hearts, each willing to sacrifice the other for a chance at freedom.

Now, Caro is a successful royal Saint-harvester, living the high life in the glittering capital. She pretends not to know of the twisted monster experiments hidden in the palace by her beloved Red Queen. Meanwhile, the memory of Caro’s betrayal has hardened Icca from a timid girl into a ruthless hunter. She will stop at nothing to exact her vengeance—on Caro, on the Queen, and on the throne itself.

As Caro and Icca's paths collide, the secrets of the Saints that the Queen has been guarding begin to unravel. A volatile magic more dangerous than either of them could have imagined threatens their world. The two wicked girls must navigate a labyrinth of deceit, power, and dark magic, where the line between hero and villain blurs.

Lush, terrifying, and uncanny, The Wicked Forest is a Korean-inspired retelling of Alice in Wonderland by Zoe Hana Mikuta, author of Gearbreakers and Godslayers. Mikuta takes a delicate knife straight through the heart of this beloved surrealist fairytale, delivering a story that fans of Chloe Gong and Judy I. Lin will devour.
