Malice Hates Fairy Tales #1 Lotus Rose

The Brothers Grimm are trying to unleash twisted fairy tale beings into Wonderland.

15-year-old Queen Malice doesn't want to deal with them. She vows to vanquish them in a whirlwind of fury and vitriol! Ahem.

Anyway, then Malice's dear friend, the Mad Hatter, is kidnapped. So to save him, Malice is forced to work with Cinderella, and ends up getting sucked into Fairy Tale Land.

But she also has to deal with troublesome romantic feelings, and a malfunctioning heart that leads to murderous rage. She'll try not to kill too many creatures and people, though.

Not-quite-right versions of Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty and even the Three Little Pigs make their appearances. And of course, her friends the Mad Hatter, Humpty Dumpty and even the Cheshire Cat are along for the adventure.

If things keep going this way, the fairy tales might eventually cross over into the outside world, where her twin, Alice, lives.

Malice struggles to do the right thing, but her heart keeps malfunctioning, sending her into fits of maliciousness.

Killing Cinderella would be bad, right?
