Following Dorothy's example in the Witch, Liir took refuge in the castle's shadows. The teenage girl is left for dead in a ravine, her body and soul broken. At the Saint Glinda Cloister, however, mute novice Candle cares to him and uses her song to will him back to life.
What evil power abandoned Liir to this state? Is he indeed the son of Elphaba? He has her cloak and broom, but what about her abilities? Can he locate Nor, his purported half-sister, who was last seen in the imposing Southstairs prison? Is he able to grant the dying princess her last desires? Can Liir keep his head down long enough to mature in an Oz run by new, hazardous management?
