      Band 12 der Bestseller-Reihe "Villains" von Serena Valentino! Sie vermisste die Tage des Staunens. Aber diese Tage waren längst vorbei. Alles, was blieb, war der Zorn. Sie denken vielleicht, Sie kennen die Geschichte der Herzkönigin, der blutrünstigen Tyrannin, die dafür bekannt ist, dass sie rot sieht. Sicherlich haben Sie schon von dem jungen Mädchen Alice gehört, das durch den Kaninchenbau in ein Land namens Wunderland fiel, und wie sie dessen bösartige Herrscherin besiegte, um wieder nach Hause zu gelangen. Aber haben Sie sich jemals gefragt, wie der erste Tag der Königin im Wunderland war? Hat sie die gleichen Wunder - und Schrecken - erlebt wie Alice? Sind die Gesetze des Landes ihr königlicher Erlass - oder ein verzweifelter Versuch, Ordnung in einen Ort zu bringen, der sich weigert, Sinn zu machen? Und warum ist sie so wütend? Es mag schwer sein, Fragen über eine Welt, die aus den Scherben anderer erschaffen wurde, mit Gewissheit zu beantworten. Am Ende geht es um eine Frau, die gegen die Dunkelheit in ihrem Inneren kämpft, und um ihre unwahrscheinliche Freundschaft mit einem kleinen weißen Kaninchen.

    • The eleventh book in the New York Times best-selling Villains series follows the downfall of Disney’s slickest, quickest, and smarmiest villain: Gaston. He knew he was the best. He knew he was everyone's favorite guy. You may think this tale as old as time has been told before. You may know about the Beauty, and the Beast, and the curse they broke together. But some stories have more than one ending. Some stories have more than one villain. Such is the story of Gaston. Growing up, young Gaston and the prince were brothers in all but blood. Their boyhood adventures led them throughout the many rooms of the castle, and into the deep woods beyond. The woods that were home to the legendary Beast of Gévaudan, a terrifying creature whose presence loomed larger than life in their imaginations. Then one fateful night, a violent tragedy changed their lives—and their friendship—forever, setting each of them down a very different path: the first, of greed and entitlement, the second, of determination to right the wrongs of the past. The prince, as we know, paid a price for his wicked ways. And Gaston, fueled by the magic of three meddling witches, grew ever more haunted by a singular mission: to become the hero who killed the Beast.

And the selfish, cruel woman who insinuates herself into that family, a woman so unfeeling, so cold hearted, that when her new husband dies, she makes the girl a servant in her own home. But who is that evil stepmother, that icy lady of the house? How did she become so closed off that, in the face of a child's grief, she thought only to seek wealth and power for herself and her abhorrent daughters?
