Description
A darker fairy tale for grown-ups — Polish folklore, wild magic, and a forest that hates you. Uprooted is the novel that made Naomi Novik a fantasy household name: a standalone epic rooted in the folk tales of Poland, and winner of the Nebula Award for Best Novel.
Every ten years, the cold, immortal wizard known as the Dragon claims a young woman from the valley he protects. This time his choice falls on Agnieszka — clumsy, untidy, and nothing like the beautiful, graceful Kasia everyone expected. Dragged to the Dragon’s tower, Agnieszka discovers a dangerous gift of her own: a wild, intuitive magic utterly unlike his precise, scholarly spells.
But the true enemy is the Wood itself — a corrupted, malevolent forest spreading its rot across the kingdom, ruled by something older and darker than either of them imagined. Rich, romantic, and utterly original, Uprooted is perfect for readers who want their fairy tales with thorns: no series commitment, just one unforgettable story.
