Wilds of Wonder by Tee Harlowe

A cursed land. A mysterious rival. A deadly game of survival.

I’ve spent my life raised to be a wife. My husband has no clue about my secret hobby. I hunt for magical and rare artifacts, hoping that one day I can join the esteemed Academy of Historians & Scholars.
When the unthinkable happens, I’m given an opportunity to find a divine relic belonging to one of the ancient seven spirits, a lightning bolt with deadly powers. Finding it could be my ticket to joining the academy. The catch? It’s been stolen by the bone collector, a nemesis who also has a penchant for collecting historical objects—and who crosses over into a mysterious land with the bolt in tow.
Now I have to follow him into this wonderland of death, where nothing is as it seems, most of all the bone collector. To survive and get out, I must do something I never thought I would. Work with him. Mystery and intrigue surround us, and what we begin to discover not only unravels everything we thought we knew about our world and our magic . . . but even more terrifying, about ourselves.

Wilds of Wonder is book four in Stolen Crowns, a series of steamy standalone but interconnected fairytale retellings. This Alice in Wonderland retelling is perfect for fans of banter, (very) snarky heroines, and slow-burn romance.
