Dorothy Must Die
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.

My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas.
After a tornado swept through my trailer park, I ended up in Oz. But it wasn't like the Oz I knew from books and movies. Dorothy had returned, but she was now a ruthless dictator. Glinda could no longer be called the Good Witch. And the Wicked Witches who were left? They'd joined forces as the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked, and they wanted to recruit me.
My mission? Kill Dorothy.
Except my job as assassin didn't work out as planned. Dorothy is still alive. The Order has vanished. And the home I couldn't wait to leave behind might be in danger.
Somehow, across a twisted and divided land, I have to find the Order, protect the true ruler of Oz, take Dorothy and her henchmen down—and try to figure out what I'm really doing here.
