Graceling Realm
Graceling Realm (14+ - teen) by Kristin Cashore
Graceling (Book 1)
The problems with a medieval world where some have abilities marked by their mismatched eyes? There’s a lot of division and misinformation; as Katsa will soon find out. Every graceling has a different Grace, and Katsa, a lady in a corrupt court, has the misfortune that her Grace is killing.
Fire (Book 2)
Before Katsa or Leck’s time, in the lands of the east, Fire was fighting her own battles. And, yes, her name is Fire. Say hello to your new protagonist, you’re going to be spending a lot of time together. Fire here is incredibly beautiful, and can use that beauty to her advantage. Yay. Also, there’s a war, and there are some monsters who will eat her if they smell blood. So… have fun.
Bitterblue (Book 3)
You may remember Bitterblue. The ten year-old with the knife skills? Yeah; well she’s all grown up now, and she’s decided to fix some of the problems her nation has, having been ruled by a child who’s information comes solely from reports for 8 years. Throw in a little romance, some old characters, and you got yourself this book.
Winterkeep (Book 4)
Wow. We are discovering new lands all over the place. Farther east of the Dells, there’s a whole new continent! Naturally curious, Bitterblue and her convoy visit. And… that doesn’t go so well; for the scouts that went ahead, or for Bitterblue. Side note: Do you like blue, telepathic foxes? ‘Cause they’re pretty important in this book.
