Naomi Novik, the author of the much-loved Temeraire series, has a new novel coming out! Uprooted, a dark fairy tale, was acquired by Pan MacMillan’s Editorial Director Julie Crisp for the UK and Commonwealth. Crisp said of the deal: “I have been a huge fan of Naomi’s since reading the first novel in her thrilling Temeraire series. When I read her fantasy Uprooted I was absolutely blown away by the beautifully-written and richly-imagined world – it is in every way an enchanting read.”
Uprooted tells the story of Agnieszka, whose village is surrounded by a terrible enchanted wood. While a grim local wizard can keep the horrors at bay, he demands a high fee: ten years of service from a young girl of his choosing. Now the choosing is approaching, and Agnieszka fears that her best friend, the lovely Kasia, will be taken. But what if the wizard makes a different choice?
