Book description
In a world where people born with an exceptional skill, known as a
Grace, are feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of a skill
even she despises: the Grace of killing. Something dark and deadly is
rising in the north and creeping across the continent, and behind it all
lurks the shadowy figure of a one-eyed king . . . Kristin Cashore is
an exceptional new voice in the fantasy genre. She has an M. A. in
Children's Literature and has lived in Pennsylvania, Syndey, Boston,
Cambridge, Austin, Italy and even London before setting, for the moment,
in Florida.
