The Scarecrow is a mad scientist, the Tin Woodman a sadistic military commander, the Cowardly Lion a ravenous beast, and Dorothy a vainglorious tyrant obsessed with stealing the land's magic and enslaving its people. When Kansas teenager Amy Gumm is carried away by a tornado, she arrives in a nightmarish version of Oz. And now no one is safe.Ī former writer for television, Paige makes her YA debut with this edgy update of Baum's classic series. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. There's still a road of yellow brick-but even that's crumbling. To be a place where Good Witches can't be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. But I never expected Oz to look like this. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado-taking you with it-you have no choice but to go along, you know? And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. My name is Amy Gumm-and I'm the other girl from Kansas. Start at the beginning and discover your new series to binge! The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige.
