But the corrupted Wood stands directly on the border, filled with a malicious and creeping power whose shadow looms constantly over her life. To keep this malevolent force at bay, her people rely on a cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon. However, his vital protection comes at a devastating cost: every ten years, one young woman must be handed over to serve him in his tower, a fate feared almost as much as falling prey to the Wood itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eWith the next choosing fast approaching, Agnieszka is consumed by fear. Everyone in the valley expects the Dragon to take Kasia—beautiful, graceful, and brave, she is everything Agnieszka is not, as well as her dearest friend. There seems to be no way to save her. But when the Dragon arrives, the valley is shocked to its core. Agnieszka has feared the wrong things, for it is not Kasia the wizard selects, but her. Thrust into a harsh world of high magic and ancient dangers, she must discover her own hidden strengths to survive the tower and defend her homeland from the encroaching darkness.
