About this listen
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, punnishing 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.

A new world
This story took me into a new world of people with powers. A strong female lead and a story line that kept me on edge. It’s for young readers but I think everyone can enjoy this read.

Addictive Listening
Strong female character and a thrilling yet subtle romance. Danger, suspense and captivating characters. I was pleased with the narrator.

Excellent - well worth a listen!
I forgot how much I loved this book when I first read it - I listened to the audiobook so I could listen to the other books in the trilogy and thought it was just super. It's packed with action and a strong heroine - this book is excellent in my opinion and well worth a listen!!

shame it isn't a trilogy
a fun world with interesting characters, could have been explored in more depth. Male voices could have been a bit more fun

True characters
I loved the book.. It's a light and quick moving story - with some dark themes. But the characters are well fleshed out and stay true to themselves.. I desperately want to read/have read to me.. the next book in the series.. I hope i know when it comes out.
