A new journey begins far from Oz, where myth and uncertainty shape the fate of a green-skinned stranger.
In The Brides of Maracoor, the first volume of Gregory Maguire’s Another Day trilogy, Rain—the granddaughter of Elphaba—washes ashore on a distant island after falling from the sky. Unconscious and alone, she is taken in by a secluded community of women who follow strict rituals and guard their mysteries closely. As Rain awakens to a world unlike any she has known, unrest spreads across the mainland and suspicion turns toward the unexpected visitor who has arrived on their coast.
Caught between political tension and ancient wonder, Rain must uncover who she is in a land where her presence is seen as threat or omen.
Maguire returns to Oz’s wider universe with a story of identity, displacement, and emerging destiny.
