| Summary |
"Agnieszka's people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep the Wood's dark forces 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. ... But when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose." from back cover. |
