In this third book in the New York Times bestselling Dorothy Must Die series, a dark fantasy adventure, new girl from Kansas Amy Gumm is caught between her home--and Oz.
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: anti-heroine assassin.
The way to stop Dorothy from destroying Oz--and Kansas--is to kill her. And I'm the only one who can do it.
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 get to 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 in the bloody yellow brick war.
But with the witches' loyalties uncertain and a new, ancient evil rising, can one girl from Kansas really save two worlds?
- A Dark Wizard of Oz Retelling: Forget the ruby slippers. In an Oz where Good is Wicked, Amy Gumm must join the surviving Wicked Witches on a mission to assassinate the tyrannical Dorothy.
- High-Stakes Portal Fantasy: When the battle bleeds from Oz into the heart of Kansas, Amy discovers that if she can't close the portal between worlds, she might not have a home to go back to.
- Enemies to Allies: Forced to rely on Nox, the brooding witch who trained her, Amy must fight alongside him even as she questions the Order's secrets and his true loyalties.
- An Ancient Evil Awakens: Dorothy isn't the only threat. As a new war begins, Amy realizes a far more dangerous power has been pulling the strings all along, and it wants her for its own.

Once upon a time, there was a girl from Kansas named Dorothy.
You might know her as the Girl Who Rode the Cyclone. She ended up in Oz, where she became friends with the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. But the temptation of magic was too much for her. She let it change her. Her friends became twisted versions of their former selves.
The magical land of Oz is now a dark and menacing place.
