The first in a three-book series spun off the iconic Wicked Years
from multimillion-copy bestselling author Gregory Maguire,
featuring Elphaba's granddaughter, the green-skinned Rain. "An
exquisitely crafted introduction to a new fantasy trilogy." -
People Over a decade ago, Gregory Maguire wrapped up the series he
began with Wicked by giving us the fourth and final volume of the
Wicked Years, his elegiac Out of Oz. But "out of Oz" isn't "gone
for good." Maguire's new series, Another Day, is here, twenty-five
years after Wicked first flew into our lives. Volume one, The
Brides of Maracoor, finds Elphaba's granddaughter, Rain, washing
ashore on a foreign island. Comatose from crashing into the sea,
Rain is taken in by a community of single women committed to
obscure devotional practices. As the mainland of Maracoor sustains
an assault by a foreign navy, the island's civil-servant overseer
struggles to understand how an alien arriving on the shores of
Maracoor could threaten the stability and wellbeing of an entire
nation. Is it myth or magic at work, for good or for ill? The
trilogy Another Day follows this green-skinned girl from the island
outpost into the unmapped badlands of Maracoor before she learns
how, and becomes ready, to turn her broom homeward, back to her
family and her lover, back to Oz, which-in its beauty, suffering,
mystery, injustice, and possibility-reminds us all too clearly of
the troubled yet sacred terrain of our own lives.
