Son of a Witch

by Gregory Maguire
Son of a Witch
Son of a Witch

Dark, transformative journey in magical Oz sequel.

If you found yourself captivated by the political intrigue and multifaceted characters of "Wicked," "Son of a Witch" offers a chance to dive deeper into the complexities of Oz. Through Liir's troubled coming-of-age story, you'll explore themes of identity and destiny entwined with Maguire's characteristic lush storytelling. This book could be a rewarding continuation for you, especially if you appreciate tales that blend the fantastical with sharp social commentary.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The long-anticipated sequel to the million-copy bestselling novel Wicked. Ten years after the publication of Wicked, beloved novelist Gregory Maguire returns at last to the land of Oz. There he introduces us to Liir, an adolescent boy last seen hiding in the shadows of the castle after Dorothy did in the Witch. Bruised, comatose, and left for dead in a gully, Liir is shattered in spirit as well as in form. But he is tended at the Cloister of Saint Glinda by the silent novice called Candle, who wills him back to life with her musical gifts. What dark force left Liir in this condition? Is he really Elphaba's son? He has her broom and her cape -- but what of her powers? Can he find his supposed half-sister, Nor, last seen in the forbidding prison, Southstairs? Can he fulfill the last wishes of a dying princess? In an Oz that, since the Wizard's departure, is under new and dangerous management, can Liir keep his head down long enough to grow up? For the countless fans who have been dazzled and entranced by Maguire's Oz, Son of a Witch is the rich reward they have awaited so long.
