More info Dvernik is a village in Polnya, located in a picturesque valley. The rivers are fast here, the mountains are high, the inhabitants are friendly. But there is a Thicket next to Dvernik — a mysterious forest, alive and cruel. He kidnaps people, deprives them of their will and cheats them beyond recognition. Agnieszka and Kasia, friends who love each other like sisters, live in the door. Their happy days are overshadowed by only one thing: they know that one day they will have to part. Soon the Dragon will arrive in the village, a powerful wizard, the only one who can save the villagers from the pernicious influence of the Thicket, which spares neither children nor adults, leaving traces of corruption in them forever. But the price for liberation from the nightmare is too high: once every ten years, the Dragon takes the most beautiful and most talented girl to its tower. No one has any doubts who will be his next victim — Kasia. Agnieszka fiercely hates the Dragon and knows that she will never accept the loss. But this time, he will make an unexpected choice, taking the one that will change the life of the entire Polnia. Noami Novik is a laureate of the Mythopoetic Prize and the British Fantasy Prize, winner of the Nebula and Locus awards. The Thicket was a New York Times bestseller and Publishers Weekly’s Best Book of the Year.
