Return to a darker Oz with Gregory Maguire’s bestselling adult fairy tale retelling. In *A Lion Among Men*, the third volume in the acclaimed, *New York Times* bestselling series *The Wicked Years*, a fuller, more complex Cowardly Lion is brought to life and gets to tell his remarkable tale.

This political fantasy is a story of oppression and fear in a world gone mad with war fever—of Munchkins, Wizards, and the legacy of the Wicked Witch of the West—and especially of a gentle soul and determined survivor who is truly *A Lion Among Men*.
