Multimillion-copy bestselling author Gregory Maguire brings us the
enchanting second novel in the series Another Day, returning to the
world he first created in Wicked. The Oracle of Maracoor, the
second in the trilogy called Another Day, continues the story of
Elphaba's green-skinned granddaughter, Rain. That strange land,
Maracoor-across the ocean from Oz-is beset by an invading army. In
the mayhem, Rain and Cossy, a child felon, break out of prison.
Helped by a few flying monkeys, they struggle to escape the city
before it falls under siege. Their arresting officer, Lucikles,
also retreats with his family to a highland redoubt. But safety
eludes them all. Chaos thunders upon them in the form of warriors,
refugees, and brigands. The very fabric of reality loosens,
liberating creatures of myth and legend-huge blue wolves, harpies,
and giants made of the very landscape. Cued in by secrets known
only to the most highly placed members of the royal court, Rain and
her companions hunt the fabled Oracle of Maracoor for guidance and
soothsaying. Rain has to recover her forgotten past if she is to
consider returning home. Cossy, the ten-year-old convicted of
murder, must become invisible to avoid being taken into custody
again. Meanwhile, the Fist of Mara, an arcane artifact that renders
all around it barren, hammers against human lives. If the reclusive
Oracle should spin a prophecy, might the desperate wicked years
promise another day, one less perilous?
