Glynnis.  She's a whole new character - a whole new character from the land of Oz - and the first book in the upcoming Empire of Oz series.  Who is Glynnis?  She is the hapless younger sister of Glinda.  Why is she hapless?  She is hapless because the tornado that brought L. Frank Baum's 19th century Dorothy to Oz, is the same one that flung Glynnis into 21st century America.  Despite the wealth of Oz characters and their philosophical adventures provided by L. Frank Baum, he didn't write much regarding all the forces that somehow came together to form Oz in the first place.  He did give us the name of the fairy queen Lurline who built Oz, but he forgot to give us her motivation for doing so.  The Empire of Oz series, with its primary heroine Glynnis, not only provides a prequel to Oz, she also offers a glimpse of modern life viewed from the eyes of a character L. Frank Baum hadn't thought of.  Or better yet - as Glinda would say - Glynnis provides teen readers a little something in the way of the "art of social commentary".

A Day of Sorrow, The Tales of Old by FreeReinVikings
3 parts Complete
A day like any other, turned to blood and misery in the blink of an eye. The soul devourers had been withheld for thousands of years, the residents beyond Riverin's walls growing comfortable. Their ignorance could be their downfall as everything crumbles. Even the veterans aren't prepared for an assault, underestimating their opponent. Carnade, born to another land, has found a home in Riverin. He's always known how great a threat the devourers were, but he never thought their first strike would be Riverin. Now he has to choose between protecting his family or the people he swore himself to. Derosai was born and raised in Riverin, dedicating her life to abolishing the soul devourer race from the face of Alatine. Everything she worked toward. Everything her and her husband planned could be torn away. Her husband believes their son to be the key to ending the devourer blight and if he perishes, there won't be anyone to stop the second dark war. Alithium was born to another world, frozen and far from Riverin. Unlikely events destroy everything she holds dear, tearing her away from the only home she's ever known by thrusting her into a foreign land. One of heat and despair. She soon finds out how unwelcoming man can be, taken into a city on the brink of destruction. Her only goal is to escape. Their problems, man or devourer... it didn't concern her. Their faces, all the death, and all the screams. I can still see and hear them to this day - Crow Akroth This is A Day of Sorrow, By Dominik Sorensen. I hope you enjoyed the introduction, the first three chapters. If you did, you can find the full novel on amazon. The link is in my LinkTree in our bio. But, I do want to advise you to read (A Promise of Blood) before this novel. It takes place before A Day of Sorrow and is quite relevant to understand certain points of this novel.

Return to the Land of Oz: The Second Adventure of Dorothy Gale in the Land of Oz by brajo81
15 parts Complete
Prepare to embark on an exhilarating and daring escapade through the mystical realm of Oz, in this thrilling sequel to my previous adaptation of the enchanting book by L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In Return to the Land of Oz, the fearless Dorothy Gale sets foot once more in the captivating Land of Oz, only to discover a realm in disarray, far from the way she remembered it. No longer is the King Scarecrow seated upon the throne, for it has been usurped by the malevolent Queen Roquat and the cunning Princess Mombi. These devious rulers not only hold the land captive but also conceal the true heiress to the throne of Oz, the rightful Princess Ozma. Stand alongside Dorothy as she forges alliances with both familiar faces and newfound companions, embarking on a quest to liberate Ozma and the entire land of Oz from the clutches of these tyrannical monarchs. Brace yourself for an odyssey filled with peril and valor, where courage and friendship shall be tested in the face of overwhelming adversity. *** Loosely based on the second and third books in the Oz series by L. Frank Baum, "The Marvelous Land of Oz" (1904) and "Ozma of Oz" (1907), I have once again used some characters from the 1985 film "Return to Oz" in my illustrations. This choice made once again because of the appearance of the main characters in that film more resembling the ones used in the original Oz book illustrations crafted by W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill, than other Oz films. In this adaption, I have also merged the characters of Mombi from "The Marvelous Land of Oz" with Princess Langwidere from "Ozma of Oz," echoing the creative fusion of that character seen in the 1985 film. However, the character of the Nome King has been reimagined as Queen Roquat, a female ruler whose name pays homage to the real name of the Nome King in his early book appearances. Many other changes to characters and events from the books can be seen throughout my adaption as well.
