The past doesn’t always stay buried, especially when Alice is the one with the shovel Now that Alice Winter has a better handle on her magic, she’s intent on solving the one crime that’s eluded her for the past year - who attacked her the night of Stephen Charming’s party. The same night Anna was murdered. The night she still barely remembers. She doesn’t want to worry Rumpelstiltskin - who seems caught up in his own family drama back in the Fae realm - so she goes to the only person who can help her: Rumple’s dangerous younger brother, Pan. Pan has his own reasons for helping Alice, and it’s not benevolent. With Pan, it never is. At the same time, the pieces around Anna’s murder start to crumble. Vicious affairs are exposed, evidence shows up in the most unexpected of places, and everything Alice thought she knew about herself and who she is, is revealed to be a carefully constructed lie put into place to punish the innocent and protect the wicked. The only question Alice must answer is which category does she fall into.
