In a world where some people are born with a unique and sometimes uncanny gift, Katsa was certainly no exception. At an early age, she demonstrated an uncomfortable gift for killing. This makes her the perfect tool for her uncle, King Randa. But Katsa detests being used and decides to stand against the injustice surrounding her.

In a world where some people are born with extreme and often-feared skills called Graces, Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace, the Grace of killing, and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king.

Vulnerable-yet-strong, Katsa 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.

As niece of the king, she lived a life of privilege until the day her ability to kill a man with her bare hands revealed itself during a royal banquet. Now she acts as her uncle's enforcer, traveling the kingdom and threatening those who dare oppose him. But everything changes when she meets Po, a foreign prince Graced with combat skills who is searching for the truth about his grandfather's disappearance. When Katsa agrees to help him, she never expects to learn a new truth about her own Grace--or about a terrible secret that could destroy them all."--Amazon.com.

Desde entonces se ha visto obligada a trabajar para su tío, viajando por el reino y amenazando a aquellos que se atreven a oponerse al monarca. Pero todo cambia cuando conoce a Po, un príncipe extranjero dotado de habilidades especiales para el combate que busca la verdad sobre la desaparición de su abuelo. Cuando Katsa acepta ayudarlo, lo último que espera es descubrir la verdad sobre su propia gracia y sobre un terrible secreto que podría acabar con todos." --
