A dark enchantment blights the land in this enthralling fantasy inspired by fairy tales. Agnieszka loves her village, nestled in a peaceful valley, but the nearby enchanted forest casts a shadow over her home. Many have been lost to the Wood, returning forever changed. The villagers rely on an ageless wizard, the Dragon, for protection from the forest's dark magic, but his assistance comes at a steep price: one young woman must serve him for ten years, leaving everything behind. Agnieszka fears her friend Kasia will be chosen, as she embodies all the qualities Agnieszka lacks—beauty, grace, and bravery. However, when the Dragon arrives, it is not Kasia he selects. This captivating tale has garnered numerous accolades, including the Nebula Award for Best Novel, the Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel, and the British Fantasy Society Award for Best Novel, and has been shortlisted for both the World Fantasy and Hugo Awards. The narrative is praised for its vivid believability and enchanting quality, with notable authors commending Novik's writing for its depth and magic.
