Four years after Dorothy…

Carnival thief Tippetarius fears she’s falling for her dashing, knife-thrower best friend—a man with more admirers in his arsenal than blades.

But the moment she finds the courage to make her move, an enigmatic stranger gifts her a golden key that sends Tip from rural Kentucky to the Yellow Brick Road.

To her shock, her arrival in this strange yet wondrous land activates latent powers—powers she never had back in her own world. Powers that get her arrested for being a witch.

Though how was she supposed to know witches were outlawed in Oz?

When her first meeting with the brooding Scarecrow King goes horribly wrong, Tip becomes hellbent on escaping the palace, the Emerald City—and Oz.

She’s taken aback, however, when the cold and calculating sovereign lowers his guard to confess that, with Dorothy gone and Glinda missing, he needs her help subverting a coup. Oz needs her.

Reluctantly, Tip agrees to feign a royal engagement with the king—and to pretend she’s a foreign dignitary who knows what she’s doing when it comes to being a powerful witch.

It’s not long, however, before she begins to question what’s real between her and the king…and what’s staged.

Especially when she does the impossible by breaking his curse, making him human again.

Just when she begins to wonder if there is some place other than home for her, though, home shows up…to get her.
