The New York Times bestselling first book in a dark new series that reimagines the Oz saga, from debut author Danielle Paige.

I didn´t ask for any of this. I didn´t ask to be some kind of hero. 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?

Sure, I´ve read the books. I´ve seen the movies. I know the song about the rainbow and the happy little blue birds. But I never expected Oz to look like this. 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. There´s still a road of yellow brick-but even that´s crumbling.

What happened? Dorothy. They say she found a way to come back to Oz. They say she seized power and the power went to her head. And now no one is safe.

My name is Amy Gumm-and I´m the other girl from Kansas. I´ve been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I´ve been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman´s heart. Steal the Scarecrow´s brain. Take the Lion´s courage. And-Dorothy must die.
