SYNOPSIS: - Forget the traditional books of Alice in Wonderland or Alice Through
The Looking Glass as this story tells of an Alternate Wunderland. 
A teenage Alice is drawn into another dimension. A strange world of wacky, weird and
wonderful characters where things are not as cute or amusing as the Lewis Carroll
versions.
Something is amiss. The Magic Crystal, which maintains the balance of power in
Wunderland, has disappeared.  This leaves the realm of the RED QUEEN vulnerable
And open to invasion by her cousin, THE BLACK QUEEN and her ASTARTE
followers. The race is on to find it as quickly as possible for without the crystal,
Wunderland will cease to exist.

Help is sought from BAKURRA, THE ELVEN QUEEN who could possibly have her
own agenda. So what does Alice have to do with all this?  Why is she here?  Is it to aid
the Red Queen or the Black? Will the crystal be found in time to save Wunderland from
destruction? Who will be the final victor in this quest for control of
The Kingdom of Wunderland?
