A return home demands courage, memory, and a reckoning with the self you once feared.
In The Witch of Maracoor, the final novel of Gregory Maguire’s Another Day trilogy, Rain Ko—granddaughter of the Wicked Witch of the West—emerges from exile with her memories stirring and her resolve sharpening. Haunted by the Grimmerie and by the lover she left in Oz, she begins a journey across perilous waters and abandoned islands, determined to confront the legacy she cannot outrun.
Battling illness, pirates, and the lingering shadows of grief, Rain discovers strength she never knew she possessed. Each step draws her closer to Oz and to the truths she must face before she can shape a life of her own choosing.
Maguire concludes Rain’s story with a meditation on identity, inheritance, and becoming whole.
