Cry MadnessDark Academia Alice in Wonderland Retelling

"I’d rather live a thousand years in a world where you ignore me than one second in a world without you.” —Maddox Hathorne

THEY'RE ALL MAD HERE

Maddox Hathorne is everything Alice Knightly doesn’t need, yet he's everything she wants. At his best, he’s eccentric—at his worst, he's psychotic. She's also the only person in Wonderland who's not afraid of him. But on the night their friendship crosses the line into so much more, her world shatters.

Grief-stricken, Alice tried to escape the pain. She failed and fled Wonderland. Danger guides her back home, leaving her trapped between a past she can’t outrun and a treacherous road that leads to an unpredictable future.

A predator saturated in sin, Maddox has his sights set on her all over again. This time, when she spirals down a rabbit hole of depravity, there’s more than the promise of ecstasy waiting for them at the bottom…

*CRY MADNESS is a complete standalone reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. This sizzling Dark Academia Romance features an antihero who pushes the boundaries of what it means to be ‘morally gray’ and a heroine fierce enough to tame the Mad Hatter.
