Graceling Realm Sampler Step into a world where extraordinary powers run through people's blood and danger lurks in every kingdom—this sampler invites you into Kristin Cashore's lush fantasy realm through three interconnected stories of fierce, unforgettable women. Each novel follows a different heroine discovering her own strength: whether she's a warrior grappling with the burden of her gift, a girl hiding a dangerous magic, or a young queen fighting to heal her fractured kingdom. Expect sweeping romance woven through adventure, intricate world-building that feels both magical and grounded, and characters who'll stay with you long after the final page. This collection also includes never-before-published bonus material, making it the perfect way to experience why readers can't stop raving about Cashore's reimagining of what fantasy can be.
