The stunning conclusion to the smash New York Times bestselling series the Wicked Years
Hailed as βbewitching,β βremarkable,β βextraordinary,β βengrossing,β βamazing,β and βdelicious,β Gregory Maguireβs Wicked Years seriesβa sophisticated fantasy cycle inspired by the classic childrenβs novel The Wizard of Ozβbecame national bestsellers and the basis for a hit Tony-winning Broadway musical. Now, Maguire returns with the final installment in his transformative work, a thrilling and compulsively readable saga in which the fate of Oz is decided at last. . . .
Once peaceful and prosperous, the spectacular Land of Oz is knotted with social unrest: The Emerald City is mounting an invasion of Munchkinland, Glinda is under house arrest, and the Cowardly Lion is on the run from the law. And look whoβs knocking at the door. Itβs none other than Dorothy. Yes. That Dorothy.
Yet amidst all this chaos, Elphabaβs granddaughter, the tiny green baby born at the close of Son of a Witch, has come of age. Now it is up to Rain to take up her broomβand her legacyβin an Oz wracked by war.
The stirring, long-awaited conclusion to the bestselling series begun with Wicked, Out of Oz is a magical journey rife with revelations and reversals, reprisals and surprisesβthe hallmarks of the unique imagination of Gregory Maguire.
