- Throughout the Seven Kingdoms some people are born with what is known as a Grace. Those who are Graced are exceptionally skilled but each unique and specialized; some can swim like a fish while others can run faster than anyone else. Katsa, niece of King Randa of the Middluns, was born with the Grace of killing. She killed her first time at age 8 and since then has been trained as Randa's own special weapon. Disgusted by the acts she is forced to commit and her growing reputation as a monster, Katsa works in secret with a handful of trusted friends to spare the innocent citizens from the wrath of the many corrupt kings of the Seven Kingdoms. One mission leads her to rescue an old man, Grandfather of the Lienid Royal family, and it sets the course for change for Katsa. She teams up with one of the Lienid princes and begins to unravel a deep and unsettling mystery about one of the Kingdoms.—Samantha the Escapist
- The story of Katsa, a young warrior and her journey of self-discovery. Katsa has been able to kill a man with her bare hands since she was eight-she's a Graceling, one of the rare people in her land born with an extreme skill. As niece of the king, she should be able to live a life of privilege, but Graced as she is with killing, she is forced to work as the king's thug. She lives under the command of her uncle Randa, King of the Middluns, and is expected to execute his dirty work, punishing and torturing anyone who displeases him. When she first meets Prince Po, Graced with combat skills, Katsa has no hint of how her life is about to change. She never expects to become Po's friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace-or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone. With elegant, evocative prose and a cast of unforgettable characters, GRACELING creates a mesmerizing world, a death-defying adventure, and a heart-racing romance that will consume you, hold you captive, and leave you wanting more.—Piers Ashworth
