Alice Voss has spent four years underground — not by choice, but because the Threshold took her there, and the Threshold takes what it wants. Below the surface of an ordinary city lies a world of ruled chambers, impossible light, and a Court that has been waiting for someone like her. Riven, the Court's enigmatic sovereign, does not believe in accidents. Alice does not believe in him.
What follows is a descent into something neither of them prepared for: a woman who photographs darkness for a living learning that some doors, once open, cannot be closed — and a man who has ruled an underground kingdom for centuries discovering what it means to have something worth losing. The trials ahead are real. The danger is real. And the thing growing between them, slow and inevitable as water through stone, is the most real thing of all.
Down in the Dark is a standalone dark romantasy reimagining of Alice in Wonderland. For readers of A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Bridge Kingdom, and From Blood and Ash.
