Virtuous Queen Alyss, who has lost the power of imagination, and her murderous aunt Redd battle for control of Wonderland.

Hatter Madigan takes an unexpected detour when he travels 'within' guided by a mischievous young girl named Nekko. Nekko's origin is a mystery, but her devotion to the Royal Bodyguard's quest to find the lost Princess Alyss is unwavering. After his guide leads him on a chase across the rooftops of 1871 San Francisco, Hatter must acknowledge Nekko as a teacher.

When she is cast out of Wonderland by her evil aunt Redd, young Alyss Heart finds herself living in Victorian Oxford as Alice Liddell, and struggles to keep memories of her kingdom intact until she can return and claim her rightful throne.

"In the fifth and final volume of Hatter M, looking glasses shatter as heroes and villains from Wonderland arrive to aid (or block) Hatter in his quest to find Alyss. Hatter's reunion with his brother Dalton leads to an epic showdown as savior meets assassin in the struggle to control Wonderland's future"--Amazon.

The people of Wonderland lose their creative drive when the power of the Heart Crystal is depleted, and when even Queen Alyss loses her powers, everybody takes comfort in the fact that Redd Heart is similarly disabled.

By order of Queen Genevieve, Hatter Madigan, the Royal bodyguard, flees Wonderland with the princess, Alyss Heart, but when he loses Alyss in an alternate reality he embarks on a thirteen year quest to rescue her, and bring her back to the Wonderland realm.
