West Of Wicked The First Of Three Oz Stories From Nikki St Crowe

Author: Arroe Collins April 10, 2026 Duration: 10:11
From #1 Amazon bestselling author & USA Today bestseller Nikki St. Crowe comes WEST OF WICKED, an unexpected, sexy & dark reimagining of the classic tale, where Dorothy searches for the truth about her origins in the cursed, dark land of Oz. This inventive, fantastical new romance puts a spicy and creative twist on a beloved story, while adding a yellow-brick-road’s worth of tension, banter & murder. Complete with a mysterious & charming scarecrow and an axe throwing ‘shadow daddy’ tinman, WEST OF WICKED is the perfect new read for fans of Apples Dipped in Gold by Scarlett St. Clair and Neon Gods by Katee Robert. About West of Wicked: Dorothy Gale doesn’t know where she came from. At the age of five, she was dropped on Em and Henry’s doorstep while a terrible storm rolled across the Kansas prairie. Now as an adult, Dorothy has made the most of her life on the farm. But when a cyclone tears through the night, ripping her, her dog, and the farmhouse away, Dorothy wakes to find herself far from home in the strange, cursed land of Oz. Desperate to find her way back, Dorothy takes the advice of the Witch of the North and sets off on the yellow brick road to find a wizard…with a warning to avoid forest monsters, heartless mercenaries, and wicked witches. It isn’t long before Dorothy encounters the dark side of Oz, stumbling on a man beaten and bloody, tied to a pole in a cornfield. Not unlike the scarecrows on the Kansas farm. With no memories, the mysterious stranger joins Dorothy. Rook is ridiculously handsome, endlessly charming, and somehow understands Dorothy in a way no one ever has. But when they cross paths with the infamous Tinman and his axe, Rook proves he may be hiding his own secret. Nothing and no one is what they seem in the cursed land of Oz…maybe even Dorothy herself.
