    Summary

    “I’m fine. Things are going well. I…” Glinda hesitated. She tried not to ever say anything too sappy to Elphaba, who never knew how to accept such things gracefully, but she couldn’t help it. “I miss you,” Glinda admitted softly. Again, the line went silent for a beat too long. Glinda opened her mouth to soften the admission, but before she could, Elphaba’s quiet voice filled her ear.

    “I miss you, too.”

    After graduation, Elphaba and Glinda find themselves in separate cities and therefore apart for the first time in years. They keep in contact through letters, phone calls, and occasional visits. When Elphaba won’t stop being elusive about how she’s faring after being cut off financially, Glinda worries a completely appropriate amount. (She tries to offer a completely appropriate amount of help, too.)

    Summary

    Despite it all—all meaning familial trauma and neglect, casual social ostracization, and the general crushing weight of existence—Elphaba liked to think of herself as an optimist.

    If she wasn’t, after all, she certainly wouldn’t be doing this.

    Summary

    “Elphaba Thropp,” the herald announces grandly, “Champion of the Realm, winner in the Princess’s Tournament.”

    Elphaba does not bow. She does not kneel. She looks at Glinda with something like terror in her eyes. A flash of panic barely hidden beneath a smirk. “So,” she says quietly, too quiet for the crowd, just loud enough for her, “I kept my word, princess, I guess we’re getting married.”

    Glinda swallows.

    “I guess we are.”

    Summary

    Today, everything in Glinda’s life was supposed to change for the better. Her older sister’s coronation was supposed to go off without a hitch. Instead, it’s snowing in the middle of summer and it’s up to Glinda to find her sister and convince her to break the spell, by traveling into the mysterious and possibly dangerous Northern Forest.

    Elphaba is a starving academic trying to support her younger sister and fundraise a research trip into the Northern Forest so she can collect the stories the residents tell about the Hidden Folk, a group of faeries known for abducting human children and leaving changelings in their places. Most people don’t believe they're real, but Elphaba knows better. She’s seen them. The last thing she needs is a princess showing up on her front step in the middle of the night, dressed in a party dress, insisting she needs Elphaba to help her find her sister because she can navigate the forest better than anyone else. But when Glinda promises to fund the research trip once her sister puts everything right, Elphaba realizes she can’t refuse.

    Their journey will challenge everything they thought they knew about their histories and their futures.
