Graceling The Graphic Novel

The beloved New York Times bestselling YA fantasy by Kristin Cashore comes to life in stunning visual form, with breathtaking illustrations by award-winning artist Gareth Hinds. This graphic novel adaptation transforms an already captivating story into an immersive feast for the eyes.

Meet Katsa, a Graceling—one of the rare few born with an extraordinary, extreme skill. Hers? The deadly ability to kill with her bare hands. As the king’s niece, she’s forced to act as his brutal enforcer, a weapon wielded to keep the kingdom in line. It’s a lonely, violent existence, until she crosses paths with Po, a foreign prince whose own combat Grace hides deeper mysteries than she could imagine.

When Po enlists her help to uncover the truth behind his grandfather’s disappearance, Katsa discovers something unexpected: the truth about her own Grace, and a devastating secret that threatens everything they hold dear. What begins as a mission becomes a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and a love that defies expectations.

Praised for its “gorgeous storytelling” (School Library Journal, starred review) and characters “crafted with meticulous devotion” (Kirkus, starred review), this graphic novel brings new dimension to a modern fantasy classic. Whether you’re discovering Katsa’s world for the first time or revisiting it, Hinds’ stunning artwork makes this edition an essential addition to any collection. Perfect for fans of strong heroines, intricate world-building, and stories that linger long after the final page.
