The very fabric of reality loosens, liberating creatures of myth and legend--huge blue wolves, harpies, and giants made of the very landscape.
Chaos thunders upon them in the form of warriors, refugees, and brigands.
But safety eludes them all.
Their arresting officer, Lucikles, also retreats with his family to a highland redoubt.
Helped by a few flying monkeys, they struggle to escape the city before it falls under siege.
In the mayhem, Rain and Cossy, a child felon, break out of prison.
That strange land, Maracoor--across the ocean from Oz--is beset by an invading army.
The Oracle of Maracoor, the second in the trilogy called Another Day, continues the story of Elphaba\'s green-skinned granddaughter, Rain.
