In a world where some people are born with a Grace—a unique, sometimes uncanny, skill—Katsa is cursed with a Grace for killing. This makes her a perfect tool for her uncle, King Randa.
Katsa chafes at being used as a instrument of punishment. Then she meets Prince Po, and everything changes in this stunning fantasy romance.
About Full Cast Audio
Full Cast Audio (FCA) has a simple mandate: to produce unabridged recordings of fine childrens novels using a full cast rather than a single reader. Whenever possible, we invite the author to serve as narrator. Our recordings are always unabridged—the only things deleted from the text are those attributives ("he said", "she growled", etc.) made unnecessary by having a full complement of actors.
Bruce Coville, founder of the company, did pioneering work in this form during the five years that he partnered with Listening Library to produce and direct recordings for "Bruce Covilles WORDS TAKE WING Fantasy Audio". Among the authors whose work appeared under the WTW logo were Lloyd Alexander, Patricia C. Wrede, Elizabeth Winthrop, Natalie Babbitt, Brian Jacques, and Philip Pullman.
