Description
Washed ashore on the wild coast of Outer Oz, Dorothy is swept into danger once again. With new companions at her side she must confront Princess Langwidere, the cruel ruler of Castle Ev. Can Tik-Tok the clockwork man, the wandering Shaggy Man, and the plucky hen Billina help Dorothy stop a tyrant before Oz loses yet another corner to darkness? Meanwhile, in the Emerald City, Princess Ozma barely has time to master her newly awakened magic before Glinda the Good sends her on a perilous mission. Crossing the Deadly Desert toward Fire Island, Ozma is joined by trusted friends — Scarecrow, Lion, and the Tin Woodman — but defeating Blaze, the Nome King’s fiery usurper, will demand more than courage. Ozma must uncover the deeper power within herself before it’s too late. Separated by distance and danger, Dorothy and Ozma face different foes but their struggles are bound together by the fate of Oz itself. As ancient evils rise and kingdoms tremble, two heroines must grow into their destinies, proving that hope, bravery, and friendship may be the strongest magic of all.
