1939, Kansas. Clara Gale Kincaid has grown up on her grandmother Dorothy’s impossible stories of witches and talking scarecrows, a city of emerald, and magical silver shoes. Clara is convinced they’re just the tall tales of an old woman no one believes anymore. Until she slips on a pair of silver shoes in the attic, trips through a window, and lands in the dust of a red brick road. This isn’t the Oz from Dorothy’s stories. Queen Mombi sits on a stolen throne, her guards and strange machines watching every move. Glinda the Good has been missing for a decade. And somewhere under the rocks, the Nome King is keeping a prisoner wanted by Mombi herself. With the help of Polychrome, and Jack Pumpkinhead, Clara is forced into a dangerous bargain: travel to the Nome King’s cavern, retrieve a notorious criminal named Timothy Cobalt, and deliver him to Mombi in exchange for a wish that could change her life forever.
