Alice by Christina Henry (Paperback)

In the crumbling streets of the Old City stands a grim hospital where the forgotten and the broken are kept behind cold cinderblock walls. Inside is a young woman who remembers almost nothing about her past. Fragments linger in her mind—an unusual tea party, long ears, and the unsettling presence of blood—but the truth remains buried.

When a fire breaks out at the hospital, she escapes the place that has held her for years. The chaos gives her a chance at freedom and the opportunity to uncover what truly happened long ago. Yet she soon learns she is not the only thing that escaped the hospital that night. Something dark and powerful has slipped out as well.

As she moves through the dangerous streets of the Old City, she begins searching for answers about her identity and the events that led to her imprisonment. The deeper she ventures into the city’s hidden corners, the closer she comes to a terrifying truth.

Inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this dark reimagining follows a woman confronting forgotten memories, violent threats, and a mysterious figure waiting at the centre of it all.
