It's been 2 years since Dorothy's first adventure through Oz. And since then, nothing has been the same. The Gale family uprooted from Kansas and moved to Oz, where they now reside in the palace of Princess Ozma in the Emerald City. However, a new threat emerges. In the southernmost part of Oz, the sorcerer queen Gaylette plots to throw a coup against Ozma and conquer all of Oz for her own. And it's up to Dorothy, as the People's champion of Oz, to hit the Yellow Brick Road again and bring the threat down.
