"Dorothy and Alice grew up, but their worlds never let them go. This story is about facing the past and finding strength in who you’ve become." Kristen Spiegel, Co-Author

"We wanted to explore what happens after the story ends—when the magic fades and heroes must rediscover themselves."
Joshua Spiegel, Co-Author

Years after Dorothy left Oz and Alice escaped Wonderland, both women have settled into the rhythm of ordinary life. Their once-bright adventures have dulled to fragments of half-remembered dreams, the kind that vanish with morning light. But peace rarely lasts forever. Somewhere between the cracks of two forgotten worlds, a dark power stirs. The Wicked Witch of the West—revived by an unknown force—joins with the Queen of Hearts, fusing their realms in a storm of corruption and fear.

As the boundaries between Oz and Wonderland collapse, familiar faces are forced to confront what time and trauma have made of them. Dorothy and Alice, now in their thirties, must rediscover the courage that once defined them—not as storybook heroines, but as women burdened by memory, regret, and the passage of years.

Blending modern psychological realism with classic fantasy mythos, The Other Side of The End transforms beloved childhood icons into complex adults grappling with loss, identity, and redemption. It asks an unsettling question: What if the greatest battle isn’t against evil—but against who you’ve become since the story ended?

Rich with nostalgia, cinematic tension, and moral depth, The Other Side of The End invites readers into a vivid reimagining of two timeless worlds—where courage isn’t youthful innocence, but the strength to face what you’ve lost.

Both a homage and a reinvention, this novel is perfect for fans of dark fantasy, literary reboots, and stories that bridge the gap between fairy tale and reality. The result is a spellbinding exploration of how legends evolve.
