Oz smiles like a fairy tale and bites like a curse. And Dorothy is trapped in its teeth.
Dorothy Gale has been betrayed by the Wizard of Oz; he used her, broke her, and left her stranded in a strange land.
Now she’s forced to team up with the last person she should trust: the Tin Woodman. A heartless mercenary with an axe to grind and nothing left to lose. Because the Wizard didn’t just steal his heart, he took Tin’s little brother, Gabriel, too.
Everything about Tin is dangerous. And the closer Dorothy gets, the harder it is to tell what scares her more—his blade, or the fire he ignites within her.
But defeating the Wizard won’t be easy. His magic hums beneath every brick and coils through every whisper, until you’re walking in circles on the Yellow Brick Road. He has all of Oz under his spell and more power than anyone. Or does he?
Because Dorothy is more than she seems, and the longer she’s in Oz, the more she remembers. Things about her past, about what she is, and about the magic awakening inside her.
The series
There’s something unsettling about a place that feels both forgotten and all too familiar. The Great and Terrible Land invites readers into a world like that—unsettling, magnetic, and humming with dangerous magic. This isn’t the Oz you remember. Here, the yellow brick road is cracked and bleeding, the witches are far more cunning, and power is never given without a price.
Read full series description
Blending dark fantasy and slow-burn romance, the series reimagines a classic world with twisted elegance. Shadows cling to the edges of every encounter, secrets lie buried beneath emerald fields, and the rules—whatever they once were—have changed. At its heart is a heroine caught between fate and rebellion, drawn into a storm where villains don’t wait in towers—they rule them. What follows isn’t just a battle for survival, but a reckoning with desire, identity, and the kind of power that doesn’t ask for permission.
Written with the same seductive bite and atmospheric tension that fans of romantasy crave, the story simmers with morally complex characters, eerie lore, and an ever-present sense that the land itself is watching. The tone is lush and unapologetically dark—perfect for readers who like their fantasy with sharp edges and their love stories tangled in thorns.
As the series unfolds, it doesn’t just rework a beloved myth—it reclaims it. For those drawn to reimagined fairytales, enemies-to-lovers tension, and richly built worlds where every choice has teeth, this is where the journey begins. West of wicked, and deeper into the unknown.
