Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. There's no place like home. But what if home was always the lie?Kansas, 1932. The dust never stops. The sky has been the wrong color for days. And seventeen-year-old Dora Gale has learned the only lesson this dying land ever taught her: soft things get broken.Then the tornado comes - and it…feels, horribly, like being called.She wakes in Oz. Not the Oz of wonder and color and wide-eyed possibility. This Oz is a kingdom quietly dying from the inside, its gleaming Emerald City built on enforced illusion, its people wearing tinted glass because to see the world clearly is an act of sedition. Somewhere behind the spectacle, behind thirty years of engineered mythology, sits a man who arrived in a hot air balloon from a traveling carnival and turned an empire of living magic into a managed, profitable machine - and who is almost done.Dora doesn't know she was sent here. She doesn't know the shoes she pulled from a dead woman's feet belong to a story older than she is. She doesn't know that the road is a trap, the companions she finds along it are leverage, and the woman everyone calls the Wicked Witch might be the only one telling her the truth.No Place is a dark retelling of The Wizard of Oz for readers who always suspected the original story was asking the wrong question. Here, the Scarecrow is a broken archivist who remembers being brave but can no longer hold the memory long enough to act on it. The Tin Man is a resistance fighter turned into iron, piece by piece, the way grief works - still aware, rusting from the inside. The Lion was made into a symbol of submission while he was still alive to watch it. And the Witch of the West is not a monster born. She is a monster made - through a specific, traceable, historically documented process that is far more disturbing than simple evil.The Wizard himself is the book's deepest horror. Not because he roars. Because when the curtain finally falls, what's standing behind it is a slight, aging, sharp-eyed man with impeccable manners who will look you in the eye and make you feel, briefly and horribly, that he is the reasonable one in the room.Dora came to Oz wanting one thing: to go home. She'll leave knowing that home was never a place she was given. It's something she will have to build - from the ruins of what was taken, the truth of who she is, and the impossible courage required to stop waiting for the world to return what it stole.Take off the glass. See what's real.For readers of Guillermo del Toro, Angela Carter, and Neil Gaiman - and for anyone who ever felt that the story they were handed wasn't quite the whole truth.
