What this book is about
Bitterblue, queen of Monsea since her monstrous father Leck died, discovers that the healing of her kingdom is far more complicated than she realized—the lies go deeper, the damage wider, and the truth is something her advisors have been hiding from her. Kristin Cashore's Graceling Realm conclusion is the most political and emotionally complex of the trilogy.
