Seven kingdoms, seven greedy, unpredictable kings. Any and all Gracelings, people born with extreme skills, are the king's possessions.
When Katsa was 8-years old, her Grace announced its nature: a girl Graced with killing. All Gracelings are marked with their eyes; each eye is a different color. All Gracelings are feared, especially Katsa. The niece of the King Randa, Katsa is kept to serve the king. He orders her to kill, hurt, or maim those who offended him.
On an errand for the Council, Katsa meets another Graceling. She knows she should kill him, but she doesn't. She learns that he is Prince Greening Grandemalion of Lienid, looking for his kidnapped grandfather.
"Katsa," he said into the dirt. "I beg you to trust me, as I've trusted you."
The prince, Po, is also Graced with fighting skills.
Katsa is used to being alone, independent, but her life is about to change. Graceling is an exciting fantasy read about love, loyalty, and finding what makes you happy.
