KATSA ES UNA GRACELING, una de esas personas ͠nicas que nacen con un don especial: una gracia. Como sobrina del rey, ha disfrutado de una vida de privilegios, hasta el d̕a en que, durante un banquete real, su habilidad para matar con sus propias manos sali̤ a la luz. Desde entonces se ha visto obligada a trabajar para su t̕o, viajando por el reino y amenazando a aquellos que se atreven a oponerse al monarca. Pero todo cambia cuando conoce a Po, un pr̕ncipe extranjero dotado de habilidades especiales para el combate que busca la verdad sobre la desaparici̤n de su abuelo. Cuando Katsa acepta ayudarlo, lo ͠ltimo que espera es descubrir la verdad sobre su propia gracia y sobre un terrible secreto que podr̕a acabar con todos.-- Amazon.com. Graceling tells the story of the vulnerable-yet-strong Katsa, who is smart and beautiful and lives in the Seven Kingdoms where selected people are born with a Grace, a special talent that can be anything at all. Katsa's Grace is killing. As the king's niece, she is forced to use her extreme skills as his brutal enforcer. Until the day she meets Prince Po, who is Graced with combat skills, and Katsa's life begins to change. She never expects to become Po's friend. She never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace--or about a terrible secret that lies hidden far away . . . a secret that could destroy all seven kingdoms with words alone.
