Agnieszka has always loved her quiet valley. Her village sits beside a bright river and deep forests, but beyond the border lies the Wood, a dark and dangerous place filled with a corrupting magic that threatens everything nearby. For generations, the people have relied on a powerful wizard known only as the Dragon to keep the Wood’s influence under control.
The Dragon protects the valley, but his help comes at a heavy cost. Every ten years he takes one young woman from the village to serve him in his tower. Few know what happens during those years, but the girl always returns changed and eventually leaves the valley behind forever.
As the next choosing approaches, everyone expects the Dragon to select Kasia, Agnieszka’s closest friend. Kasia is brave, graceful, and admired by everyone in the village. Agnieszka feels certain she will lose the person she cares about most.
When the Dragon finally arrives, however, his decision surprises everyone. Instead of Kasia, he chooses Agnieszka. Taken from the life she loves and placed in the wizard’s isolated tower, Agnieszka soon discovers that both the Dragon and the mysterious Wood hold far more secrets than she ever imagined.
