Heart of Oz

Oz: Origins of Darkness, Book 1

De: Isra Sravenheart

Narrado por: Jeff Coney

Everyone knows the land of Oz - a bright, happy place filled with color, munchkins, quadlings, and other beings under the security of the Emerald City and the Wizard. But suppose there is no Emerald City and no Wizard to safeguard Oz.

Suppose we go back to the very beginning, when the first guardian of Oz, Elvira, a kindhearted fae, is exposed to what darkness really is when Elvira's best friend Genevieve is lured by the darkness.

She just disappears off into the night, leaving Genevieve’s mother Ceris, along with her two brothers, Aldante and Altair, going spare as she moves into the most dangerous terrain, Starlet Boding, a land known for shaping everyday folk into witches and warlocks, as well as a prime breeding ground for demons. Genevieve is on shaky ground, but not a soul back in her home village Golly Vale dares to find her.

Soon, Genevieve meets Torigo, a snake who knows the dark world better than most, having tutored many students in their shameful path. Torigo sees Genevieve's potential and can't wait to see her grow into a fine sorceress. Only Genevieve discovers Elvira has betrayed her and is furious. She makes her presence known in Golly Vale, only to find herself forbidden from the land. Feeling hurt, lost, and alone, she leaves.

Then tragedy strikes in Genevieve's heart. She's seeing red. Nobody in Oz is safe. And with chaos about to descend onto the peaceful land, will Genevieve destroy everyone she loves and herself?

USA Today best-selling author Isra Sravenheart has retold the classic story of Oz in a brand new light, reimagining it as never seen before as we go back to the very roots of Oz's origins, when darkness threatened to destroy this once-peaceful land.
