Enter the Graceling Realm and let it work its magic in this
unforgettable novel from New York Times bestselling author Kristin
Cashore.
When Queen Bitterblue took the throne of Monsea, she was a child, and
her advisers ran the kingdom for her. Now she is beginning to question
their decisions, especially how they handle the legacy of her father
Leck, who who ruled through his Grace--a special talent for
mind-altering--and his taste for darkness and violence. Bitterblue needs
to know Monsea's past to lead it into the future, so she begins
exploring the city sreets at night, disguised and alone. As she does,
she meets two thieves, who hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And
one of them, with a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to
her heart.
Bitterblue is a gateway to the Graceling Realm that braids together
magic, memory, and romance.
Look for Kristin Cashore's highly-anticipated return to the Graceling
Realm, Winterkeep!
