Superficially, that could make for an annoying character, but I was enthralled with Nishka and her plight. She constantly challenges his authority, seeks alternate methods for practicing the magical arts and generally acts in a defiant manner. Much to her surprise (but not to any genre reader, I suppose especially because the tale is told through Agnieszka’s first person voice) Agnieszka is chosen and brought to the wizard’s tower.Īgnieszka is not the most agreeable of the Dragon’s students. Nieshka thinks her best friend Kasia will be chosen by the Dragon as the time approaches for his ten-year visit. ![]() Very little is known about what occurs between the two during that time save the woman leaves the tower a practitioner of magic herself and seemingly is no longer connected to her home-village. Every decade or so, the Dragon comes down from his tower and hand-picks a young girl from the village to come live with him for a decade. Agnieszka lives in a small village protected by the wizard known as the Dragon. ![]()
