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. <p/><i>Bitterblue</i> is a gateway to the Graceling Realm that braids together magic, memory, and romance. <p/><b>Look for Kristin Cashore's highly-anticipated return to the Graceling Realm, <i>Winterkeep</i>!</b> <p/>Some authors can tell a good story; some can write well.
