Uprooted
of Naomi Novik (Goodreads Author)
Description
âOur Dragon doesnât eat the girls he takes, no matter what stories they tell outside our valley. We hear them sometimes, from travelers passing through. They talk as though we were doing human sacrifice, and he were a real dragon. Of course thatâs not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but heâs still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. He protects us against the Wood, and weâre grateful, but not that grateful.âAgnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life.Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood.But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.
