The Looking Glass WarsBook Two
by Frank Beddor
Wonderland finally seems as if it’s getting back to normal. Queen Alyss is back on the throne, and reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Dodge. But the fight for Wonderland is far from over. King Arch, in nearby Boarderland, is conniving to overthrow everything for which Alyss and her friends have fought so hard. Even worse, King Arch has found an ally in the recently returned Redd, who has been biding her time and gathering new and evil assassins in the Catacombs of Paris. With enemies circling and danger looming, someone close to Alyss lets her down—and threatens the future of Wonderland forever.

After the global success of There’s Something About Mary, he formed Automatic
Pictures, over which he still presides, to develop creative properties. “After
‘Mary’ I put a bunch of projects into development,” he says. “At the same time,
though, I was coming to realize that, as a producer, you’re a facilitator for
