Amy Gumm's mission seemed clear: rip out the Tin Woodman's heart, grab the Scarecrow's brain, steal the Lion's courage, and kill Dorothy. She failed. Dorothy lives, and the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked has disappeared, leaving Amy stranded in Oz. Only Princess Ozma remains as a potential ally, but Amy can't be sure who to trust in a land where good and evil change direction like the wind. As Amy digs deeper into her original mission, she discovers that Oz's history runs far darker than she imagined. Worse, Kansas itself may be under threat. Amy thought she knew why she came to Oz and what she was fighting for. Now she must figure out who is truly wicked and whether her home world can survive the consequences of her actions.
