Order of Dorothy Must Die Books

Danielle Paige's Dorothy Must Die series offers a dark, contemporary twist on L. Frank Baum's beloved The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. This YA fantasy collection reimagines the classic tale with a grittier, more dangerous edge that will captivate modern readers.

The series launched in 2013 with No Place Like Oz, the first in a collection of prequel novellas that establish the backstory before the main narrative unfolds. These shorter works set the stage for the full-length novels that follow. In 2014, Paige released the titular Dorothy Must Die, marking the beginning of the core novel series.

This ongoing series continues to expand the dark Oz universe, with both the prequel novellas and main novels arranged chronologically according to their original publication dates, allowing readers to experience the story as Paige intended it to unfold.
