Chapter 1

Alice has long since dismissed the memories of another world as whimsical childhood fictions.
One muggy Sunday, she meets a familiar man with a notable hat who has been sent to retrieve her, and she can't help but let curiosity lead her down another rabbit hole. She tumbles into a world that's grown up, just as she has, and finds herself tangled in a web of politics, religion, and academia.
