Alice Ascending (Fatal Fables, #2)

Enter a realm where fairy tales twist into nightmares, and adventures lead straight into darkness. From whispers in dimly lit rooms to promises made across oceans, brave women forced into impossible situations must face brutal truths. Watch as Alice plunges headlong into a world far darker than Wonderland, and realize that in this tale, the rabbit hole offers no easy escape. These aren't stories of damsels to be rescued these are survivors clawing their way out, and happy endings aren't promised.

Once upon a time, Alice believed in adventure. In escape. In love stories that swept her far from her suffocating reality, where knights were charming and danger was thrilling. That was before Javier before whispers turned into chains, before promises of passion became sinister betrayals, before a man's embrace became a prison.

Now, she's trapped in an underground club across an ocean, her freedom stripped away, her every move dictated by the monster she once thought was her prince. Her body dances to survive, her heart beats only to defy, and her soul carries scars deeper than skin. But Alice isn't lost not yet. Beneath her fragile facade burns a fierce determination to break free.

She's been waiting, patient and calculating, building alliances in the shadows. And when the moment finally arrives when she finds herself face-to-face with the man who stole everything Alice won't beg, and she won't break.

Because in this story, princesses don't stay locked away in towers.

They burn them down.
