An der Universität studiert sie Biologie und forscht besonders über grundlegende Ähnlichkeiten zwischen Menschen und Tieren. Unterdessen ist aber der Zauberer von Oz dabei, die Rechte der Tiere grausam einzuschränken.

Years before Dorothy and her dog crash-land, another little girl makes her presence known in Oz. This girl, Elphaba, is born with emerald-green skin—no easy burden in a land as mean and poor as Oz, where superstition and magic are not strong enough to explain or overcome the natural disasters of flood and famine. Still, Elphaba is smart, and not long after entering Shiz University, she becomes a member of a charmed circle of Oz's most promising young citizens. But Elphaba's Oz is no utopia. The Wizard's secret police are everywhere.
