the oracle of maracoor a novel gregory maguire

Cossy, the ten-year-old convicted of murder, must become invisible to avoid being taken into custody again. Rain has to recover her forgotten past if she is to consider returning home. The very fabric of reality loosens, liberating creatures of myth and legend-huge blue wolves, harpies, and giants made of the very landscape.Ĭued in by secrets known only to the most highly placed members of the royal court, Rain and her companions hunt the fabled Oracle of Maracoor for guidance and soothsaying. Chaos thunders upon them in the form of warriors, refugees, and brigands. 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 Another Day trilogy, continues the story of Elphaba’s green-skinned granddaughter, Rain. The Oracle of Maracoor is followed by The Witch of Maracoor, volume III of Another Day.

The novel is the sequel to The Brides of Maracoor. The Oracle of Maracoor is the second novel in Another Day, a three-volume series spun off from the iconic Wicked Years from multimillion-copy bestselling author Gregory Maguire, featuring Elphaba’s granddaughter, the green-skinned Rain.
