Wicked

An astonishingly rich re-creation of the land of Oz, this book retells the story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, who wasn't so wicked after all. Maguire transports readers beyond the yellow brick road into a phantasmagoric realm brimming with imagination and social commentary. For readers who love a literary reimagining with depth and heart, Wicked offers a fresh perspective on a once-maligned figure and invites reflection on power, prejudice, and humanity.

Son of a Witch

Back in Oz, Liir—Elphaba’s alleged son—emerges from the shadows after Dorothy’s fateful encounter with the Witch. Bruised, comatose, and tended by Candle at the Cloister of Saint Glinda, Liir’s past and true parentage unfold as he navigates a world under new and dangerous leadership. This installment invites readers to ask what makes a son inherit a mother’s traits—and what it means to grow up in a realm where magic, loyalty, and fate collide.

A Lion Among Men

As civil war looms, an ancient oracle named Yackle eyes the end while the Cowardly Lion—an enigmatic figure named Brrr—seeks truth about Elphaba. The narrative deepens with questions about power, memory, and the legacies of those who shaped Oz’s history. This installment broadens Maguire’s saga, weaving together fate, courage, and the moral puzzles that haunt a world on the brink of upheaval.

Out of Oz

The marvellous land of Oz is wrangled by social unrest: Emerald City edges toward invasion, Glinda faces house arrest, and the Cowardly Lion is on the run. A familiar voice returns—Dorothy—but now a new generation rises. Elphaba’s granddaughter Rain takes up the broom in an Oz wracked by war, delivering revelations, reversals, and the signature twists that define Maguire’s distinctive, spellbinding style.
