About Graceling

A girl with the supernatural grace to kill — the king's most feared weapon — escapes her servitude and tries to figure out who she is when no one is using her as a tool. Cashore writes female protagonists with the same conflicted power as Alina: gifted with something that marks her as different, and learning to own it.
