The Orphan Sorceress of Oz: An Epic Fairy Tale Adventure (The Hidden History of Oz Book 1)
The Land of Oz: Decades before Dorothy, generations without war have grown soft and weary. From the shadows, the witches scheme to divide the land and remake Oz in their own image. Magic and mayhem, dreams and defiance, secrets and sacrifice abound, defining this new age in the Land of Oz.
THE WORLD WILL KNOW HER NAME, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.
Fifteen-year old Glinda is determined to live free from the shadow of her sorceress mother. Uncaring of the price it may demand, Glinda’s rebellion against her mother’s wishes unleashes the hidden fury of the wicked witches’ secret scheme, and plunges the entire land into chaos.
Amidst the turmoil, magical armies march across Oz, leaving devastation in their wake. Hope from the skies comes in the form of a wizard almost as young as Glinda. He brings stories of freedom, and dreams that change the world around him. Without an army of her own, Glinda inspires common people to rise up against the monstrous armies. However, her inexperience puts everyone at risk.
Will three spells, a few clever friends, and a wizard with unwavering faith in freedom be enough to overthrow the tyranny of the wicked witches?
Let the battle for Oz begin.
The Orphan Sorceress of Oz is the first book in The Hidden History of Oz series, an epic fairy tale adventure set decades before L. Frank Baum's masterpiece, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This series brings the excitement of epic fantasy to the magical land of Oz.
