Grades 9-12.
Feared as a killer since her childhood, Lady Katsa uses her unusual Grace(superhuman gift) as an assassin in the service of her uncle, King Randa. She rebels by forming the Council, a sort of social justice league, and it is through this affiliation that she is drawn into a mystery involving the kidnapping of an elderly cross-kingdom prince, the secret Grace of the king of nearby Monsea, and the kidnapped royal's wicked cute, super-sensitive grandson Po. Po convinces Katsa that she can stand up to the brutal king and put her gift to better uses. When Katsa joins Po on a quest, she throws herself headlong into a rescue mission and finds romance, self-knowledge, and justice along the way.
If you have enjoyed Tamora Pierce, you will enjoy Graceling. Look for the sequel:
