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 that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s 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 we’re grateful, but not that grateful.”\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Agnieszka 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.\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—\u003ci\u003eeveryone\u003c\/i\u003e knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her.\u003cbr\u003e But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eUprooted\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eUprooted\u003c\/i\u003e has leapt forward to claim the title of Best Book I’ve Read Yet This Year. . . .
