Agnieszka lives in a quiet valley threatened by the corrupted Wood, and everyone knows that the powerful wizard called the Dragon protects the region in exchange for taking one village girl every ten years. When the choosing comes, everyone expects beautiful, capable Kasia to be selected, but the Dragon unexpectedly takes clumsy Agnieszka instead. Her captivity reveals an untamed magical ability that may be essential to understanding the Wood’s growing corruption. Naomi Novik’s stand-alone fantasy draws on Eastern European fairy-tale traditions for a story of magic, friendship, political conflict, and a heroine whose power refuses to fit the form her teacher expects.
