The Wicked Years continue in Gregory Maguire's Son of a Witch --the heroic saga of the hapless yet determined young man who may or may not be the offspring of the fabled Wicked Witch of the West. A New York Times bestseller like its predecessor, the remarkable Wicked, Son of a Witch follows the boy Liir on his dark odyssey across an ingeniously re-imagined and nearly unrecognizable Land of Oz--a journey that will take him deep into the bowels of the Emerald City, lately abandoned by the Wizard, and into the jaws of dragons.

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., The Wicked Years continue in Gregory Maguire'sSon of a Witch --the heroic saga of the hapless yet determined young man who may or may not be the offspring of the fabled Wicked Witch of the West.
