In a world where people born with an exceptional skill, known as a
Grace, are feared and exploited, Katsa carries the burden of a
skill even she despises: the Grace of killing. She lives under the
command of her Uncle Randa, King of the Middluns, and is expected
to carry out his dirty work, punishing and torturing anyone who
displeases him. Breaking arms and cutting off fingers are her
stock-in-trade. Finding life under his rule increasingly
unbearable, Katsa forms an underground Council whose purpose is to
combat the destructive behaviour of the seven kings - after all,
the Middluns is only one of the Seven Kingdoms, each of them ruled
by their own king and his personal agenda for power. When the
Council hears that the King of Liend's father has been kidnapped
Katsa investigates ... and stumbles across a mystery. Who would
want to kidnap him, and why? And who was the extraordinary Graced
fighter who challenged her fighting skills, for the first time, as
she and the Council rushed the old man to saftey? Something dark
and deadly is rising in the north and creeping across the
continent, and behind it all lurks the shadowy figure of a one-eyed
king ...
