Publisher Description

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)

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: 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

“This was a reread for me and I loved it as much this time as I did the first time I read it years ago and the many times I've reread it since. The writing holds such a fairytale quality to it and I felt it in the soft edges created around the magic and the characters. Like Agnieszka's magic, it felt like all the sharp edges were being slowly worn away until we as the reader were just swept up in the flow of it. This is a book that I see myself coming back to time and time again.”
Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“This book was beautiful from start to finish! I love the fantasy world that's created and it takes you on a journey. A bit slow in the first few chapters but then it picks up the pace pretty quickly. Took longer to read than expected but I'm so glad I read it. If you enjoy fantasy that has spell-casting, evil forest creatures, battles, and a bit of romance as a side plot, this book is for you.”
“My wild heart was stirred! The middle was a little difficult to get through but I laughed aloud at the beginning and found the ending very satisfying. Highly recommend!”
