This is a fantasy novel that will knock your socks off! In Graceling, we follow the story of Kasta, a kick-butt heroine who has one green eye and one blue. In this world, the different pairing of eyes means that the person is graced- or born with an extreme skill. (i.e. dancing, fighting, sewing, storytelling, etc). Kasta has the Grace of killing. She is forced into service of her horrible uncle and king, Randa, King of the Middluns, as his henchman. She is charged with punishing and torturing anyone who displeases him.
