Elizabeth C. Ward

Alice Clockwatcher is from Stemsin, a world rife with patriarchy, misogyny and pain. While escaping from a predatory gang of teenage boys, she found the power to rescue herself. Amser Chronos, the anthropomorphic personification of Time, is looking for something to allow her to traverse the worlds without needing a Hall Walker's aid. When Alice's afternoon tea with her results in too much to untangle alone, Alice finds herself travelling the new world she's in to try and help.
But fixing wonderland was never on her To Do list.
