Soubor povídek z alenkovského světa Šepotání Alyssa Gardnerová prošla králičí dírou a rozhodla o svém osudu. Přežila bitvu o Říši Divů i bitvu o své srdce. V tomto povídkovém souboru se můžete společně s ní a její rodinou vrátit do Říše Divů. Zároveň si můžete přečíst i několik vymazaných scén z předešlých knih! Například povídce s názvem Šest nemožných věcí Alyssa vzpomíná na nejvzácnější okamžiky jejího života před tím, než přišlo Zrcadlení a na to, jak velkou roli hrají kouzla ve štěstí těch, které miluje. Alyssina matka pak v povídce Kluk v pavučině nostalgicky vypráví o svém čase, který strávila v Říši Divů, a zachraňovala muže, který se pak stal jejím manželem. A Morfeus se v povídce Můra v zrcadle pátrá v Zachových vzpomínkách na Šepotání.

Alyssa Gardner has been down the rabbit hole, crowned Queen of the Red Court and saved the life of the boy she loves. Now she just has to graduate. That would be simple if the mysterious Morpheus didn't show up to tempt her with another quest. Could she leave Jeb and her parents behind again, for the sake of a man who has manipulated her before?

Alyssa Gardner, directly descended from Alice Liddell, the real life inspiration for Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, hears the whispers of bugs and flowers, precisely the problem that landed her mother in a mental hospital years before. When her mother becomes worse and the whispers grow too strong to bear, Alyssa realises she must find the origins of the family curse, a search that leads her through a cracked mirror into the real Wonderland, a place far darker and more twisted than Lewis Carroll ever let on. There she must decide whom to trust: Jeb, her gorgeous best friend and secret crush, or the sexy but suspicious Morpheus, her guide through Wonderland who may have dark motives all of his own

Shortly after arriving at RoseBlood conservatory, Rune starts to believe something otherworldly is indeed afoot.

Thorn may be falling for Rune, but the phantom haunting RoseBlood wants her for a very specific and dangerous purpose. As their love continues to grow, Thorn is faced with an impossible choice: lead Rune to her destruction, or save her and face the wrath of the phantom, the only father he's ever known
