Yellow Brick War

My name is Amy Gumm. Tornadoes must have a thing about girls from Kansas, because—just like Dorothy—I got swept away on one too. I landed in Oz, where Good is Wicked, Wicked is Good, and the Wicked Witches clued me in to my true calling: Assassin.

The only way to stop Dorothy from destroying Oz—and Kansas—is to kill her. But I failed. Others died for my mistakes. Because of me, the portal between the worlds has been opened. And if I don’t find a way to close it?

Dorothy will make sure I never go home again.

Now it’s up to me to: join the Witches, fight for Oz, save Kansas, and stop Dorothy once and for all.

Perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles and Gregory Maguire’s Wicked, Danielle Paige delivers a dark, high-octane reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

To save two worlds, Amy must embrace her wicked side. But in a war this twisted, who can she trust?

• A Dark Wizard of Oz Retelling: Forget the yellow brick road. In this version of Oz, the Wicked Witches are the good guys, and Dorothy, the corrupted tyrant, must be stopped at all costs.
• High-Stakes Portal Fantasy: When the fight spills over from Oz into Kansas, Amy Gumm finds herself stranded in her old life without her magic, forced to go back to high school to find a way home.
• Enemies to Allies: Back in Kansas, Amy must team up with her high school nemesis, Madison, to uncover a secret that could change the fate of both worlds.
• A War Across Two Worlds: As a new, powerful enemy emerges, Amy and the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked must fight for the future of Oz and Kansas before both realms are destroyed forever.
