Dorothy Must Die

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

I didnt ask for any of this. I didnt 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, Ive read the books. Ive 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 cant be trusted, Wicked Witches may just be the good guys, and winged monkeys can be executed for acts of rebellion. Theres still a road of yellow brick—but even thats 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 Im the other girl from Kansas. Ive been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. Ive been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodmans heart. Steal the Scarecrows brain. Take the Lions courage. And—Dorothy must die.
