A dark enchantment blights the land in the award-winning Uprooted
- a enthralling, mythic fantasy by Naomi Novik, author of the
Temeraire series.
Agnieszka loves her village, set deep in a peaceful valley. But the
nearby enchanted forest casts a shadow over her home. Many have
been lost to the Wood and none return unchanged. The villagers
depend on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, to protect them from the
forest's dark magic. However, his help comes at a terrible price. One
young village woman must serve him for ten years, leaving all they
value behind.
Agnieszka fears her dearest friend Kasia will be picked at the next
choosing, for she's everything Agnieszka is not - beautiful, graceful
and brave. Yet when the Dragon comes, it's not Kasia he takes.
