Once upon a time all the legends and stories were true. Animals were people and humans were the lost children in a new and magical world. Then a war between heaven and hell shattered the peace that existed between mortals and immortals. Now thousands of years later a young girl named Alice can see through that veil. She can see the true faces of the gods and demons that exist on the earth alongside the humans that no longer know they are there. Her ability has alienated her from her peers and cast her out of normal society. She has found solace in stories from old books and the kind understanding of an old family friend. When a creature unlike any she has ever seen before explodes into her life she quickly learns that the things she thought were only old stories are very real.Once upon a time all the legends and stories were true.

She finds herself in the middle of a war that has been fought longer then recorded history. The salvation of the world rests in her hands. But, first she has to try to convince herself it's not one of her delusions.Alice always thought she was crazy . . . at least, that's what she's been told by everyone she's ever met. Only one old family friend has ever believed the things Alice claims to see. But Li Tzu also knows that gods are real, that demons are real, and that the fables and myths he shares with his young friend are more than passing entertainment.Like her literary namesake, Alice will soon find herself being chased down a rabbit hole, but one much more ancient and far darker than any whimsical trip to Wonderland.
