We’re delighted to be giving away TWO paperback copies of L.L. McKinney’s A Blade So Black, courtesy of our friends at Titan Books.

About the book

What if Buffy had fallen down the rabbit hole instead? A contemporary reworking of the world of Lewis Carroll’s classic, A Blade So Black is a page-turning read that will delight fans of V.E. Schwab, Cassandra Clare and Leigh Bardugo. Debut author L.L. McKinney carefully balances beautifully realised fantasy  with poignant real-life commentary to create a thrilling, exciting and timely tale of otherworldly intrigue, romance and break-neck action.

The first time the Nightmares came, it nearly cost Alice her life. Now she’s trained to battle monstrous creatures in the dark dream realm known as Wonderland with magic weapons and hardcore fighting skills. Yet even warriors have a curfew.
 

Life in real-world Atlanta isn’t always so simple, as Alice juggles an overprotective mom, a high-maintenance best friend, and a slipping GPA. Keeping the Nightmares at bay is turning into a full-time job. But when Alice’s handsome and mysterious mentor is poisoned, she has to find the antidote by venturing deeper into Wonderland than she’s ever gone before. And she’ll need to use everything she’s learned in both worlds to keep from losing her head . . . literally.

A Blade So Black is L.L. McKinney’s debut, but it aptly demonstrates why she’s already being heralded as an author to pay attention to.
