Graceling: Book One of the Seven Kingdoms


"When a monster stopped behaving like a monster, did it stop being a monster? Did it become something else?"  

She was graced to KILL.

In the seven kingdoms, gracelings were properties of their kings.Gracelings bore graces, from the simplest one of chopping woods, to the most complicated one of mind reading. every graceling is bound to serve their kings and are being kept away from their families. They are distinguished by the two colors inhibited in their eyes. Katsa had them, one blue and the other green.

every one in the seven kingdoms feared her, because of her grace. no one wishes to encounter her, and this is what made her uncle, the king of Middluns, used her to threat other kingdoms. no one dares to mess with the King of Middluns because of Katsa, and she grew anxious to this. Anger is building inside her, and slowly she learned to rebel.

all she understands, is that she was bound to obey the King's order, and there is no way she can disagree with him. until the time she met Prince Po. he taught her how to fight, that she has her own life to lead, and she should not be a dog of her uncle. Prince PO was also graced, though Prince Po lied to her, their togetherness and chemistry brought the safety of Princess Bitterblue, Prince Po's cousin who was in great danger under her Father's regime.

this is a story of two brave souls, who won their battle because of trust and courage. another book to be turned into a movie. :)
