Graceling - Kristin Cashore

In the Middluns, some people are born "Graced" with special abilities. They have skills that far surpass the average. They can hold their breath longer, run faster, or sing more beautifully. Or, they might be able to sense emotions ... even read minds. 

Katsa's Grace is killing and because of this she is the favorite weapon of her uncle, the King. She wishes to escape his control and find another use for her life.

A rescue attempt brings Katsa face-to-face with another Graced young man, a Leonid prince who intrigues her. Their time together begins to unravel the secrets of a king whose unblemished reputation has spread across the Seven Kingdoms. 

In a search to find the truth, to discover her place in the world, and to open herself to love, Katsa must push beyond all boundaries and risk it all.
