I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets spun up in a tornado—dragging you along—there’s no other choice but to go along with the circumstances. Of course I read books. And I watched movies. I know the song about rainbows and happy blue birds. But I never expected Oz to be like this. A place where you can’t trust the Good Witches, where the Evil Witches might actually be good, and where winged monkeys can be executed for rebellious actions. Although the yellow brick road is still there… but even it is crumbling.
What happened?
Dorothy. People say she found a way to return to Oz. The girl seized power—and that’s when it struck her in the head. Now everything is in danger. My name is Emmy Gamm—and I’m another girl from Kansas. The Revolutionary Order of Evil took me in. They taught me to fight. And gave me a mission.
Remove the heart from the Iron Woodman.
Steal the brains of the Scarecrow.
Take the Lion’s courage.
And only after that—Dorothy must die!
