The Warlock of Oz
Book 4 of the PURIFIED Series
by Christian Jeremiah Hayes
In a city where magic is both a blessing and a curse, the age-old battle between purity and corruption will decide the fate of Oz-and the Carter family at its heart.
From the enchanted origins of The Fifth Witch of Oz, where Violetta "Ms. Vicky" Carter became the city's Pure Witch, to the dangerous truths unearthed in The Quartztown Conspiracy, and the haunting revelations of Memoirs from Moldavite Mountain, the PURIFIED series has always asked: What makes a heart pure, and what happens when that purity is lost?
Now, with The Warlock of Oz, Ruby City finds itself torn in two. Shadows lengthen, ancient prophecies burn, and the line between the noble and the corrupt blurs beyond recognition.
Danielle Carter, once left behind, rises as the hope of the forgotten-but in a world where every choice is a test of the soul, her pain becomes the very weapon that could save or doom the city. Christian, wearing the Rose Quartz Crown and bearing the rainbow magic of forgiveness, stands as the last bulwark of hope against the encroaching darkness. Vicky, the ever-watchful matriarch, fights to heal her broken family, while Sir John's exile and Joseph's-the Warlock's-return force every Carter to confront the shadows within.
When Joseph, twisted by years of envy and heartbreak, unleashes a wave of magical corruption across Ruby City and Quartztown, the city's destiny comes down to a single question:
Will purity, love, and forgiveness heal what has been shattered-or will vengeance, pain, and the lure of power plunge Oz into an age of corruption?
Family bonds will be tested, loyalties shattered, and the legacy of Oz forever changed. At the dawn of the Amethyst Apartheid, Danielle's choice between justice and mercy will echo through generations.
If you love epic fantasy where the greatest battles are fought in the soul, where magic both redeems and destroys, and where family legacies are forged in the crucible of choice, this is the PURIFIED series' most powerful volume yet.
The true war for Oz is not light against darkness, but purity against corruption. Step onto the fractured road-and choose your side.
