About this listen

Vane and the Crocodile AKA the Madd Brothers, have been stripped of their titles and their assets after their father’s failed coup of the Darkland Court. Immortal, powerful and monstrous, it doesn’t take them long to make their way back up the ladder, but this time it’s not in the manors and mansions of the Darkland elite, it’s the dark underbelly known as the Umbrage.

Years later, they now rule the Umbrage and they are ruthless, destroying anyone who gets in their way. But even monsters have hearts, and when Roc and Vane find theirs broken, there’s only one choice: get revenge.

Content warnings can be found on the author's website.

I wish it had been longer, but hopefully there are plans for more books to extend the universe and explain Wonderland, the relationship between Alice and Madd, and what happened on the other side of the looking glass!

Great to have some backstory to the Madd brothers and Madd Hatter!
