This Graceling sequel picks up eight years after Katsa killed King Leck, making his daughter Bitterblue queen of Monsea. Now eighteen, Bitterblue sneaks out of the castle at night, and a friendship with two thieves causes her to reevaluate everything she's been told and whom she can trust. Though Cashore brings back many plot points and characters from the previous books, she still makes this volume its own distinct story.
