As Oz plunges deeper down the proverbial rabbit hole, he must unravel the mysteries surrounding him before falling into the clutches of the shadowy cabal called Pandora!"

"(W/A) Jun Mochizuki Guided by Jack Vesalius, the man from Alice's memories, Oz wanders back into the world of lost memories in search of Alice. There, he stumbles upon the devastating tragedy of Sablier, the century old disaster, which sent the old capital into the Abyss, an incident of which no one has any recollection - except Alice! When Oz discovers the truth of the memories Alice so desperately wants to forget, the powers of the B-Rabbit will spiral out of control and threaten the lives of all who are trapped within the dreamlike dimension, including Alice herself."

"(W/A) Jun Mochizuki Though Oz's sudden appearance within Pandora wreaks havoc, the initially chilly reception to the prison-breaker turns more than warm when Jack Vessalius, hero of the tragedy of Sablier, manifests in Oz's body. Sensing Oz's resultant inner turmoil, Oscar drags Oz and company on a 'mission' to Lutwidge Academy, where Oz's little sister Ada is a student. But a tearful reunion ten years in the making isn't the only thing for which Oz must prepare himself; cloaked enemies are lying in wait torture Oz for answers about events a hundred years past."

"(W/A) Jun Mochizuki Given a renewed lease on life by Eliot, another student who lends him a hand against the Baskervilles at Lutwidge Academy, Oz Vessalius is surprised to learn that his savior is a Nightray, just like Gil - not to mention he's also Gil's little brother and the rightful heir to the dukedom! Considering how the Nightrays have plotted against the Vessalius clan in the past, will the two boys ever get along?"

"As there are two sides to every story, so are there are two sides to the existence known as Alice? The young girl all in white encountered by the clown nicknamed the red-eyed specter once upon a time at the depths of the Abyss. Who is she really? Prodded by Duke Barama, Break finally shows Oz Company the cards he has long held close to his chest, but will the gruesome truths he reveals isolate him further."

"The incuse on Oz Vessalius's chest barrels onward, but the young heir to one of the four great dukedoms directs his gaze back, seeking the facts of the events of a hundred years ago. Intent to examine the ruins of Sablier despite Pandora's warnings to scare him from this endeavor, Oz wanders through the remnants of the former capital with his friends in search of clues to shed light upon the consuming darkness of the past. But in the yawning void where the opulent city once stood, will Oz come face to face with the truth? Or will he find misery the only resident?"

"A century before, in Sablier, a forbidden portal was flung wide by a boy, Vincent, in his single-minded desire to protect his brother, Gilbert. And thus did that foolhardy desire lead to the corruption of that innocent boy's soul like a sweet poison. Now, as Gil, Oz, and Alice wander the ruins of the former capital, they are assaulted by illusions from the past. But how much of it is real? And how much of it illusion?"

"Once, following the tragedy of Sablier, Jack Vessalius made a valiant sacrifice to stop his best friend, Glen Baskerville, by allowing his body to anchor a set of seals by which Glen's soul was confined. But now these seals, long guarded by mages under the watchful gaze of Pandora, are being smashed one by one at the hands of the Crimson Shinigami, whose aim is to return their master to his once-whole state. The fragile peace achieved over the last century begins to writhe, like a horror released from Pandora's forbidden box."

"Amidst the ruthless hunt for the location of the seals, Uncle Oscar decides to throw an outdoor tea party to offer Oz and his friends a modicum of relaxation. When he surprises the group with a camera to take their picture, the image of them in more tranquil times is inscribed onto a plate of silver nitrate in the hopes that the memory will live on in their hearts forever, even after they are swallowed up by total chaos."

"The air of celebration surrounding 15-year-old Oz Vessalius' coming-of-age ceremony quickly turns to horror when he is condemned for a sin about which he knows nothing. He is thrown into an eternal, inescapable prison known as the Abyss from which there is no escape. There, he meets a young girl named Alice, who is not what she seems. Now that the relentless cogs of fate have begun to turn, do they lead only to crushing despair for Oz, or is there a slim sliver of hope for him to grasp?"

"As the tragedy of Sablier unfolds anew at Isla Yura's mansion, the sword of the Headhunter is brandished once more. In the mysteries - Fianna's House, Humpty Dumpty - one truth comes to light. But is the price for this truth much too high?"

"With the Head-Hunter on the prowl during Oz Vessalius' second coming-of-age ceremony, madness surges through the grounds of Isla Yura's mansion, and the body count begins to rise. But when the tale of one sinful soul who entered into an illegal contract with the chain Humpty Dumpty in the void of Sablier is thrown back into the light, one of Oz's dearest friends will have fallen, and another will consumed by the dire reality of his being!"

"Oz. Leo. Inescapable tragedy assaults and binds the two. He is no more. That simple truth tears their hearts apart, like a castle of sand caving in on itself. Will the madness that follows sorrow like a haunting wraith pit the two against each other and lead to another catastrophe that destroys yet more lives?"

"The tragedy that befell a bustling city a hundred years earlier. Eyes of ill omen. Stone seals. The warped gears that have continued turning since long ago play out a requiem for one who was much loved. The solemn sound of the dirge colors the world that hears it a melancholy gray, as though it was always meant to be!"

"The New York Times-bestselling gothic fantasy with an Alice in Wonderland twist! The truth of the being known as Oz Vessalius is exposed to Pandora, which has been captured by Leo and the Baskervilles. Amidst the warped tragedy that plays out mercilessly, the one who has lost everything catches a glimpse of the ridiculous fairy tale contrived by one man. The forbidden box has just been opened. What will be found within?"

"The New York Times bestselling gothic fantasy with an Alice in Wonderland twist! The pathetic farce that has unfolded in earnest is no more than an absurd yarn spun by the man who caused the Tragedy of Sablier by following his heart's desires. The players in his tale begin dancing with abandon, their emotions bottled up inside, as though they are marionettes manipulated by a master puppeteer!"

"'I want you to be 'happy'...' With these parting words, one man sacrifices himself to save Oz and his companions, who have been chased into a corner. That sentiment succeeds in awakening Oz's heart, long held captive in the depths of his own soul, as though breaking all the chains that bind him. But when Oz learns of the heavy price of his revival, can his resolve withstand it?"

"A gothic fantasy with an Alice in Wonderland twist! A question is posed to Oz Vessalius once more. The answer he deduces after overcoming the chains of infinite despair that bound him becomes a blinding light, piercing through the jet-black darkness. As though hope can be spun out of the fragile threads of one's heart!"

"The cogs of destiny guide Oz, Alice, and Gil to the final chapter. Someone once said that what awaited them at the end was all-encompassing darkness that would swallow their world whole. But never was the possibility of a warm glimmer of hope just beyond the dark, waiting to pierce through the shadows, disavowed."

"A gothic fantasy with an 'Alice in Wonderland' twist! Someone once said that all they would find there was darkness that swallowed everything whole. But that never meant that light was nowhere to be found. They finally arrive at an answer to the question of how to save their world. It is the product of many months, even years. Cruel yet kind, it is a simple formula. Now, led on by the cogs of destiny, it spells the end of but one story, as if it were no more than a ridiculous fairy tale. "
