About This Book
Agnieszka loves her village, set deep in a peaceful valley. But the nearby enchanted forest, known as the Wood, is full of malevolent magic and every ten years, the Dragon—a mysterious wizard—takes a girl to live in his tower. When it's Agnieszka's turn, she discovers an unexpected power within herself. A lyrical, Nebula Award–winning fairy tale rooted in Polish folklore and mythology, with dazzling world-building and a richly emotional love story.
