About Queen of Hearts

Dinah is the princess who will one day reign over Wonderland. She has not yet seen the dark depths of her kingdom; she longs only for her father s approval and a future with the boy she loves. But when a betrayal breaks her heart and threatens her throne, she is launched into Wonderland s dangerous political game. Dinah must stay one step ahead of her cunning enemies or she ll lose not just the crown but her head. Evil is brewing in Wonderland and maybe, most frighteningly, in Dinah herself.
