Katsa’s eyes are each a different color, marking her as a Graceling. Gracelings are otherwise ordinary people with one special talent. Some graces are nearly worthless, like the ability to talk backwards. Katsa’s grace is killing. At 16, she is the thug for her uncle the King, hurting anyone who doesn’t do exactly what he wants them to do. Katsa hates that everyone is afraid of her and despises herself for being the king’s attack dog. So she goes behind her uncle’s back to right wrongs in the Seven Kingdoms. On a mission to rescue a kidnapped noble from a distant kingdom, she meets a Graceling named Prince Po, whose grace is also fighting. He’s almost a match for her (in more ways than one, of course), and wants Katsa to be so much more than she has allowed herself to become.
