many years after dorothy's departure, oz has fallen into war. the emerald city is now under the rule of shell thropp, the younger brother of elphaba, while munchkinland has seceded from the rest of oz's union and the strife continues as oz falls into a drought and munchkinland has the only large body of water. glinda the good's estate rests on the border of munchkinland, and soon the manor is overrun with soldiers from loyal oz, preparing to attack munchkinland with dragons. munchkinland is also preparing to attack loyal oz, and is desperately seeking the grimmerie, a large tome of spells capable of catastrophic results. the only person ever able to read the book was elphaba, but it is believed that perhaps her lineage may possess the same talent. after the events of "son of a witch", elphaba's orphaned bastard son liir places his infant daughter into glinda's care, and enchants her skin color so it loses its green tint.
