Emerald City Academy Series by J.B. Trepagnier

I’d like to say there’s no place like home, but I don’t recognize Oz anymore. Emerald City Academy has become pointless. Daxar is missing and Glinda disappeared when we started questioning her as to his whereabouts. Galen is avoiding me, probably because it’s about high time he tells me about his parents. Professor Ixius has taken over as headmaster and my training, but he can’t seem to stay sober and he doesn’t know the first thing on how to teach me... moreI’d like to say there’s no place like home, but I don’t recognize Oz anymore. Emerald City Academy has become pointless. Daxar is missing and Glinda disappeared when we started questioning her as to his whereabouts. Galen is avoiding me, probably because it’s about high time he tells me about his parents. Professor Ixius has taken over as headmaster and my training, but he can’t seem to stay sober and he doesn’t know the first thing on how to teach me.Things go into a whirlwind when Galen finally drops the bomb about his parents. The pieces are starting to fit together. Maybe Glinda is not avoiding us. Maybe it’s a thousand times worse than that. We’ll have to mount a rescue mission if things are as dire as they seem to be. We are woefully outnumbered. The Oz army isn’t trained and only likes polishing their badges. The last time we were in the North, things went horribly wrong.We’re running low on good Sentinels at the moment. We have to take a chance Glinda is still one of the good ones and rescue her. The alternative means the Fisher King will rise again and terrorize Oz until it’s devoid of all magic Emerald City Academy is an adult reverse harem retelling of the Wizard of Oz and the books that followed with a snarky heroine who is not taking the Wicked Witch moniker lying down, monkey shifters, a hot Winkie, a dangerous Headmaster, and a mysterious green haired boy who may have all the answers. less

Ding Dong, the Witch is dead After we get a bomb dropped on us about Dorothy, it seems Galen’s family secrets go deeper than we ever thought. Secrets that lead us back to Locasta and the North. It seems another rescue is in order, but Gugu takes charge this time. Locasta’s maid is not just a simple maid and she knows all of Locasta’s deep, dirty secrets—including when and where the Fisher King intends to strike... moreDing Dong, the Witch is dead After we get a bomb dropped on us about Dorothy, it seems Galen’s family secrets go deeper than we ever thought.

Locasta’s maid is not just a simple maid and she knows all of Locasta’s deep, dirty secrets—including when and where the Fisher King intends to strike.We now know when the Fisher King intends to play his hand, so it’s time to plan ours. The Fisher King intends to rally all of Oz to capture the Sentinels for him, but he doesn’t know we are onto him. He doesn’t know we know where his first strike will be.We intend to meet him there with all of Oz to back us up. There’s so much at stake. He could kill me. He could kill my mates. He could steal all of Oz’s magic. I’m not fully trained, but I can’t stand aside and let this happen. The Fisher King and his wives are going down. less

There’s no place like home. Unless someone lands there in a balloon and the curses start flying.No one in Oz remembers the Fisher King. The First Sentinels made sure of that. There are four of us. North, South, East, and West. I am Glinda, Sentinel of the South. We are all trying to figure out what to do about this Wizard who just landed here in a balloon, disposed of our king, and inserted himself as king of Oz while dealing with the ailing Sentinel in the North when the unthinkable happens... moreThere’s no place like home.

We are all trying to figure out what to do about this Wizard who just landed here in a balloon, disposed of our king, and inserted himself as king of Oz while dealing with the ailing Sentinel in the North when the unthinkable happens.The same forgetting curse the first Sentinels used to make everyone forget the Fisher King is cast again. Except now, we are no longer Sentinels. I’m the Good Witch of the South, Azami is the Wicked Witch of the West, Adora is the Wicked Witch of the East, and Locasta is the Good Witch of the North. Two Sentinels had to have cast that spell. I know Azami and Adora didn’t do it, or they wouldn’t have gotten the short end of the stick. I know I didn’t do it.That leaves poor addled Locasta. Maybe she isn’t as cursed and soft as we all thought. But who helped her? Can I restore the Sentinels before Oz tears itself and my friends apart? less
