Sandra Whitley
When Wendy Darling killed her foster father with a pair of scissors, she thought that was the end of her story.

Peter Pan isn't the boy who saves lost children. He's the beautiful nightmare who collects broken ones, transforming their trauma into power, their pain into purpose. He's been watching Wendy since that bloody night, waiting for her to ripen into something magnificent and monstrous.

In a Neverland built from the bones of children who couldn't let go, Wendy will discover that some hungers can't be cured—only fed.

A dark adult reimagining where growing up is the real lie, and the only honest choice is becoming the monster you were always meant to be.
