About this book
Every ten years the wizard known as the Dragon takes a girl from Agnieszka's valley, and everyone assumes he will choose her beautiful friend Kasia. He chooses Agnieszka instead. Dragged to a cold tower and an impossible apprenticeship, she must learn a wild, intuitive kind of magic while the Wood at the valley's edge, a corrupting forest that swallows travellers and returns them changed, presses closer each season. Novik draws on Polish folklore for a standalone fantasy that is both fairy tale and horror story: fierce friendship, prickly attraction, court intrigue and genuinely frightening magic, all wrapped in a setting you can disappear into.
