Fans of Chloe Gong and Judy I. Lin will devour this Korean-inspired Alice in Wonderland retelling about two very wicked girls, forever bonded by blood and betrayal . . .

In a world where Saints are monsters and Wonderland is the dark forest where they lurk, it’s been five years since young witches and lovers Caro Rabbit and Iccadora Alice Sickle were both sentenced to that forest for a crime they didn’t commit—and four years since they shattered one another’s hearts, each willing to sacrifice the other for a chance at freedom.

Now, Caro is a successful royal Saint-harvester, living the high life in the glittering capital and pretending not to know of the twisted monster experiments that her beloved Red Queen hides deep in the bowels of the palace. But for Icca, the memory of Caro’s betrayal has hardened her from timid girl to ruthless hunter. A hunter who will stop at nothing to exact her vengeance: On Caro. On the queen. On the throne itself.

But there’s a secret about the Saints the Queen’s been guarding, and a volatile magic at play even more dangerous to Icca and Caro than they are to each other…

Lush, terrifying, and uncanny, Zoe Hana Mikuta—author of Gearbreakers and Godslayers—takes a delicate knife straight through the heart of this beloved surrealist fairytale.

Praise for Off With Their Heads

“Destructively, bloodily glorious. Off With Their Heads follows two powerful girls with hankerings and cravings to make something of their devastating world, and their cat-and-mouse game is injected with sheer exhilaration. Zoe Hana Mikuta has a way with prose that is absolutely mesmerizing.”—Chloe Gong, New York Times best-selling author of These Violent Delights and Foul Heart Huntsman


"Mikuta delivers once again with breathtaking worldbuilding, terrifying magic, and the most vicious and violent girls—all wrapped up in beautiful, surreal prose. Off With Their Heads has devoured the legend of Wonderland and stitched it up into a wholly unique dark fantasy."—Andrew Joseph White, New York Times best-selling author of Hell Followed With Us and The Spirit Bares Its Teeth

“A wickedly whimsical fantasy that takes Wonderland's kaleidoscope of madness and intertwines it with sharp wit and epic adventure. Dark, romantic, and ruthless, Off With Their Heads blends nonsense with surrealism and blurs the lines between sinners and saints. This twisted tale will have readers clamoring down the rabbit hole along with the characters and into its forest of monsters where they'll find that their own desires may be the most monstrous things of all.”—Kaylie Smith, author of A Ruinous Fate
