The Scarecrow War Begins

Decades ago, when a young girl defeated the Wicked Witch of the West, she said farewell to the magical land of Oz… but unwittingly plunged the country into years of brutal civil war. But a generation later, the name of Dorothy Gale lives on in her granddaughter, an Iraq war veteran grappling with disillusionment and PTSD — until a tornado strands her in the war-torn battlefield known only as The O.Z. Forced to navigate warring factions led by the Tin Soldier, the Scarecrow, and the Prince of Lions, Dorothy must face her past and embark on a dangerous quest for the all-powerful Silver Slippers if she hopes to bring peace to the Occupied Zone — or as the locals call it, The O.Z.
