Synopsis
Every ten years, the cold wizard known as the Dragon takes a girl from the valley to serve in his tower. When he chooses Agnieszka — a clumsy, dirt-streaked girl instead of her best friend — she discovers a wild, untamed magic within herself and a corrupted Wood that threatens to consume her homeland.
