Wicked tells her extraordinary story, following Elphaba from a lonely, gifted childhood through university, rebellion and exile, revealing the woman behind the legend of the Wicked Witch of the West. The saga continues in Son of a Witch, which follows Liir, a boy left behind after Elphaba's death, as he searches for the truth about his own identity and his mother's legacy amid a divided Oz. A Lion Among Men shifts perspective again to Brrr, the Cowardly Lion, whose testimony before a mysterious tribunal unravels further secrets about Elphaba, magic, and the price of survival in Oz. The quartet concludes with Out of Oz, a sweeping finale that brings together the surviving threads of the saga as war engulfs the land and Elphaba's granddaughter, Rain, comes into her own extraordinary inheritance. Together, these four novels form one of modern fantasy fiction's most acclaimed and influential reimaginings, praised by Philip Pullman as an \u003cem\u003eastonishing achievement\u003c\/em\u003e, and now presented in a beautifully designed collector's edition ideal for newcomers and longtime fans alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe complete four-book Wicked Years saga in one collectable set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePresented in a bespoke slipcase with exclusive vintage-style cover artwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe origin story behind the world-famous stage musical and blockbuster films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich, inventive fantasy world-building with sharp wit and emotional depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA standout gift for fantasy readers, musical fans, and book collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback boxset — ready to read straight out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGregory Maguire is an American author best known for reinventing classic stories through a darker, more complex lens.
