DELUXE EDITION—featuring gorgeous stenciled edges, a map, endpapers, and a case stamp.

Booktok sensation and USA Today bestselling author Nikki St. Crowe continues the dark and spicy reimagining of the Oz saga!


Betrayed by the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy Gale is now forced to team up with the heartless mercenary, the Tin Woodman. Tin has a grudge of his own against the Wizard – not only is he the man who stole Tin’s heart, but now he’s taken Tin’s little brother, Gabriel, for his own ends.

But defeating the Wizard won’t be easy – he has all of Oz under his spell and more power than anyone. Or does he?

Because Dorothy is more than she seems, and Tin can't help but be drawn to her. And the longer Dorothy’s in Oz, the more she uncovers about her murky past, and her own potential magic.

And when all is said and done, Dorothy might have to reckon with an earth-shattering maybe Kansas isn’t home after all.

About the author

Nikki St. Crowe

32 books11.9k followers
Nikki St. Crowe is a USA Today and No. 1 Amazon Bestselling Author specializing in dark, spicy romantasy where the villain gets the girl and the girl gets the power.

Nikki considers the start of her professional career to be in the 4th grade when she placed 2nd in a Young Author’s Competition. Back then she crafted stories about magical mansions and lost treasure. She’s since ditched the treasure hunts, but she'll never give up on the magical mansions (or the morally grey men who inhabit them).

These days, when Nikki isn’t writing or daydreaming about villains, she can either be found in the woods or at home with her husband and daughter.

Wow! After finding out who Rook really is, Dorothy's story continues. Dorothy and Tin go in search of who she really is and how it impacts Rook and Oz as a whole. This book was fantastic caused it answered so many questions, and of course gave us more to think about. I loved how the backstory flowed into the future.

I am on pins and needles waiting for the next one!

I am so glad that I decided to check this one out after not exactly loving book one. And I have to say that this one was a lot better. I loved the ongoing story and that it was much easier to follow and more engaging than book one was. I can say that I can't wait for the next book.

Arc review Great continuation of this series. I love that the author is writing longer and still just as fun and twisty stories.
