Graceling

By Kristin Cashore.

In a world of seven kingdoms, some people are born with extreme talents, known as Graces. Katsa, as the niece of the king of Middluns, should be able to live the normal life of a noble lady, but she is Graced with killing. Because of this she is the king's thug, dealing out punishments to those who have displeased him. Unknown to the king, she has started a secret society called the Council. On a mission for the Council she meets a Lienid prince, called Po. Po later comes to the king's castle and he and Katsa become friends. Together they unravel the mystery behind the disapearance of Po's grandfather. I loved Graceling and Katsa. Some of my favorite parts are the sparring matches between her and Po.
