The Story

Book 1 in The Return to Oz Series

Oz is dying.

Torn apart by storms, shattered by magick, and corrupted by the rise of a new enemy - the Red Sorceress - the once-beautiful Land of Oz has become a barren wasteland.

Dorothy, now sick and powerless, passes the last hope of salvation to her daughter, Maryjane: a Kansas teenager with a destiny stitched into her blood. Blessed by the Elders with ancient magick, Maryjane must journey across the ruins of Oz and reclaim a world on the brink of extinction.

But she is not alone. At her side stands Charlie, the son of Glinda - heir to a power he barely understands, and the boy Maryjane has loved, and fought, for years. Their forbidden bond could either save Oz... or doom it.

Against monsters, betrayal, and the crushing weight of prophecy, Maryjane and Charlie must rise - or watch the Wastelands of Oz fall into endless darkness.

The Wastelands of Oz is a dark fantasy reimagining of a beloved world, perfect for fans of twisted fairy tales, epic quests, and stories where even hope must be fought for.
