Wonderland: A dark Alice in Wonderland retelling with enemies-to-lovers, twisted magic, and Captain Hook

by Mason Sabre

What if I got called back to Wonderland… and Captain Hook was waiting for me?

I swore I’d never return. But Wonderland isn’t done with me yet. This time it’s darker, hungrier. Every shadow whispering threats, every rose dripping with blood. And then there’s him.

Captain Hook.
Arrogant. Ruthless. Sinfully gorgeous.

He’s the last person I should trust, but the only one standing between me and the Queen’s wrath. He says he’ll help me survive… if I play his games. If I give him what he wants.

Maybe I should run. Maybe I should fight. But when he touches me, when he smiles like he’s already won… I’m not sure I want to escape at all.

This isn’t the Wonderland I knew. This is temptation, teeth, and heat, and I’m about to lose myself to it.

🎴 Down the rabbit hole, danger and desire await. 🎴

About the author

My name is Mason Sabre. I have been writing since I was a small child and discovered I could have a million adventures at the stroke of my pencil (I wasn't allowed to use pen back then). I have written more stories than I could even publish, some of them I wouldn't ever put out, but I have had a blast writing them. I love writing, I love reading. I love to have a fictional adventure. When I am not doing that I am with my children or studying. I have a lifelong love of learning too.

I live in the North of England. It's a little chilly here and a little wet, but it is what I call home and where pretty much all of my stories are based.

[Mabel Mumbles · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing take on the tale of Alice with all the excitement and magicalness of Wonderland, the fantastical element brought in to an adult realm where nothing seems quite as it should, its a wild journey Alice is on and flying by the coatails of the somewhat dashing and cheeky Captain Hook to make things a little hot around the collar! The search is on and the clock is ticking, the story builds in tension excellently and the romance is on fire, will Hook and Alice succeed I just can't say 😍🫢🔥🔥
