In the Shadow of the Hvozd
A fantasy novel for which the author received the prestigious Nebula Award
Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests, and the sparkling river. But on the edge of her homeland lies the sinister Wood, a place full of malevolent power, casting a heavy shadow over her life.
To keep the evil forces contained within the Wood, the people of the valley rely on a cold and unpredictable wizard known only as the Dragon. However, he demands a terrible price for his help: every ten years, a young woman must go to serve him, and after her service, she can never return to the valley, forever uprooted from her home.
The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. Everyone knows that this time, the Dragon will take her dearest friend, Kasia—beautiful, kind, brave Kasia, who is everything Agnieszka is not. And there is no way to save her. But when the Dragon finally arrives, he makes a surprising choice.
Reviews for Uprooted
"Uprooted has everything I love about Naomi Novik’s writing, with the added bonus of some old-world magic and the flavour of a dark fairy tale."
Patrick Rothfuss, author
"A very enjoyable fantasy with the potential to become a modern classic. The vivid characters echo their fairy-tale archetypes but are grounded in a real-world ambivalence that makes the book feel mature and adult."
The New York Times
"Uprooted is in the running for the best book I've read this year. It's touching, heartbreaking, and satisfying. I feel like I've been waiting for a fantasy novel like this my whole life."
