The first in a three-book series spun off the iconic Wicked Years from multimillion-copy bestselling author Gregory Maguire, featuring Elphabaâ?Ts granddaughter, the green-skinned Rain. â?oAn exquisitely crafted introduction to a new fantasy trilogy.â??A â?"A PeopleA Over a decade ago, Gregory Maguire wrapped up the series he began withA WickedA by giving us the fourth and final volume of the Wicked Years, his elegiacA Out of Oz. But â?oout of Ozâ?? isnâ?Tt â?ogone for good.â?? Maguireâ?Ts new series, Another Day, is here, twenty-five years afterA WickedA first flew into our lives. Volume one,A The Brides of Maracoor, finds Elphabaâ?Ts 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 islandâ?Ts 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, whichâ?"in its beauty, suffering, mystery, injustice, and possibilityâ?"reminds us all too clearly of the troubled yet sacred terrain of our own lives.
