A. G. Howard writes young adult fantasy and romance that often rework familiar literary worlds through Gothic imagery, magical danger and psychologically intense relationships. Splintered begins with Alyssa Gardner, a descendant of Alice Liddell, who enters a distorted Wonderland in an attempt to break a family curse. Unhinged and Ensnared continue the trilogy as Wonderland's conflicts cross into Alyssa's ordinary life and her loyalties become harder to separate. Howard also wrote RoseBlood, a Phantom of the Opera-inspired fantasy set around a mysterious French school, and Stain, which draws on fairy-tale motifs in an original secondary world. Her books are visually rich, romantic and dark rather than whimsical, with transformation, identity and attraction tied closely to supernatural rules. Splintered is the most direct entry for readers who enjoy Alice in Wonderland retellings, Gothic YA fantasy and stories that turn familiar classics into more dangerous alternate worlds.
