Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige

I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t ask to be some kind of hero. But when your whole life gets swept up by a tornado—taking you with it—you have no choice but to go along, you know?

There’s still a yellow brick road—but even that’s crumbling… Read more.
