The Dark Empress of OZ Ralph James Waterbury

Set in The Land of OZ, 75 harvests (years) after Dorothy, her family, and friends have returned to the mortal world, the consequences of their actions have born a most wicked fruit. The Emerald Palace has turned black. Clouds block out the sun over the once beautiful Emerald City. The Dark Empress has returned to the Land of OZ. Continue your journey with Sage Strawheart and her friends as they quest to restore balance to their world, and drive out The Dark Empress and her followers. The good (and the wicked) people of OZ must join forces in order to succeed. Failure means that the Land of OZ will forever fall into evil darkness, and become a land of nightmares. Characters that you know and love from the original stories are joined by new and unusual characters in this series based lovingly on the original OZ books by L. Frank Baum.
