The Last Witch of Oz: The Ozma Chronicles

By Mae Holloway

Book Overview

A kaleidoscope of intrigue, action, surprises, magic, twists, and slow burn romance. A must read if you love Oz. I read both books in two days. A novice witch. A desperate king. A fake engagement. Can their plan save Oz? Four years after Dorothy... Nineteen-year-old carnival thief Tippetarius fears she's falling for her dashing knife-thrower best friend --a man with more admirers in his arsenal than blades. But the moment she finds the courage to confess her feelings , an enigmatic stranger gifts her a golden key, one that sends Tip from rural Kentucky to the Yellow Brick Road. To her shock, her arrival in this strange yet wondrous land activates latent powers --powers she never had back in her own world. Powers that get her arrested for being a witch. Though how was she supposed to know witches were outlawed in Oz? W hen her first meeting with the brooding and caustic Scarecrow King goes horribly wrong , Tip becomes hellbent on escaping the palace, the Emerald City--and Oz. She's taken aback, however, when the cold and calculating sovereign lowers his guard to confess that he needs her help subverting a coup. Oz needs her. Reluctantly, Tip agrees to feign a royal engagement with the king --and to pretend she's a foreign dignitary who knows what she's doing when it comes to being a powerful witch. It's not long, however, before she begins to question what's real between her and the king...and what's staged. Also, if perhaps there is some place other than home for her after all... Filled with tension, intrigue, and passion, The Last Witch of Oz is the first novel in a new fantasy romance series chronicling the return of Oz's famed lost princess, Ozma, to the land from which she was stolen. This sweeping saga features familiar characters from L. Frank Baum's beloved Oz series and new personalities that twist the tale you thought you knew into a new kind of epic storm. Slow-burn romance, fake dating, secrets, love-triangles, magic, a touch of spice, high stakes, and royal intrigue make this series appealing to fans of Sarah J. Mass's ACOTAR series, LJ Andrews, and Holly Black's The Cruel Prince. Praise for The Last Witch of Oz "...a magical romance with a dark and edgy twist." "A slow burn romance, fantastic banter, and a page turning plot!" ... a kaleidoscope of intrigue, action, surprises, magic, twists, and slow burn romance. I can't wait for book two! ...an epic, magical story brimming with friendship, loyalty, adventure, love, and betrayal. Praise for Mae Holloway "With decadent prose, charming characters, and immersive world-building, [Holloway] deftly dances between a cursed past and a half-light present, transporting the reader through spaces and time on the wings of broken chords and bright melodies." "Riveting and mysterious . . ." "...hauntingly beautiful and evocative of the familiar tale. The plot is intriguing and the prose well-paced." "Hand to readers who adore a juicy love triangle with gothic flair."
