Dragonswood by Janet Lee Carey. Release date: January 5th 2012. Published by: Dial.
Why am I pining for Dragonswood?
A couple of weeks ago I was browsing through upcoming releases on Goodreads and my eye fell upon the title Dragonswood. No cover was released yet but the title was tempting enough to make me click it and read the books summary. Dragonswood sounds like a magnificent fantasy and how can you not be curious about this book when you read the words "the elusive call she hears from the heart of the Dragonswood."?
Author Janet Lee Carey has written another novel set in the same world, it is called Dragon's Keep. Dragonswood is set in the same world but many years later and with new characters. So you might want to read Dragon's Keep before Dragonswood but it's not essential.

Synopsis borrowed from authors blog:
Wilde Island is in an uproar after the recent death of its king. The uneasy pact between dragons, fairies, and humans is fraying, and a bloodthirsty witch hunter with a hidden agenda whips villages into frenzies with wild accusations. Tess, a blacksmith’s daughter from a tiny hamlet near the mysterious Dragonswood, finds herself caught in the crosshairs of fate when she is accused of witchery and has to flee for her life along with her two best friends.
Not even Tess’s power to see the future can help the girls as they set off on their desperate journey, but she keeps having visions of a man wielding a sword. And when she finally meets him, Tess has no idea how to handle the magnetic attraction she feels for him, or the elusive call she hears from the heart of the Dragonswood.
In this epic romance, an ancient prophecy comes true in a way neither dragon, fairy, nor human would have predicted.
Discover why School Library Journal has called Carey’s work “Truly original . . . beyond common fantasy fare . . . fantasy at its best.
