Alice of Spades

Description

Alice of Spades continues the story of a kingdom on the brink of revolution. Alice, now the sole heir to the Spade throne, is the target of a group of religious zealots bent on twisting her to their cause. With only her lazy cat and the clothes on her back, Alice must flee her privileged life and embark on a journey where any turn could be her last.

Forced to work as a servant in a foreign land, Alice must use all her wits to stay alive whilst searching for an opportunity to escape the Club palace. Meanwhile, factions across the kingdom continue their plans for their bloody conquest. Can Alice figure a way out before invading forces descend upon the Club palace?

September 2023, Volume 1 of Alice of Spades brings back fan-favourite characters from The Saga of the Jack of Spades (2019) and thrusts them into a perilous ordeal with dangerous new enemies, jaw-dropping scenery, and devastating emotional revelations.
