NEBULA AWARD WINNER • HUGO AWARD FINALIST • "If you want a fantasy with strong characters and
brilliantly original variations on ancient stories try Uprooted!"-Rick Riordan "Breathtaking
. . . a tale that is both elegantly grand and earthily humble familiar as a Grimm fairy tale
yet fresh original and totally irresistible."-Publishers Weekly(starred review) NAMED ONE OF
THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • BuzzFeed • Tordotcom • BookPage • Library Journal •
Publishers Weekly 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. 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.
The next choosing is fast approaching and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows-everyone 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. But Agnieszka fears the
wrong things. For when the Dragon comes it is not Kasia he will choose. Praise for Uprooted
"Uprooted has leapt forward to claim the title of Best Book I've Read Yet This Year. . . .
Moving heartbreaking and thoroughly satisfying Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I've
been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up because you won't want
to put it down."-NPR
