NeverWars
The magical realms of Wonderland, Oz, and Neverland have been thrust into a devastating war that spans worlds and generations. A sinister technology created by the Jabberwock twists good into evil, turning beloved childhood figures into shadows of their former selves. Ten years after leaving Oz, Dorothy Gale, now a nurse in World War I, faces horrors both real and magical as whispers of the Jabberwock pull her back into battle where hope may be lost forever. Georgie Bird, a new English recruit, is drawn into Wonderland, where he learns his hidden heritage and discovers his grandmother Alice has become the ruthless Red Queen. Petr Pfanne, a German spotter, crashes into Neverland only to find the war has followed him, and he’s lost his ability to fly. In a world where innocence has been shattered, these unlikely heroes must fight not only for their own survival, but for the fate of every world touched by war and wonder.
