Graceling by Kristin Cashore. Katsa is a Graceling, one of a special kind of people in the 7 kingdoms with a particular gift. Hers is killing. She is an orphan, enslaved to her uncle as a child assassin. Yes, this is NOT one I will be recommending to Ben. Katsa meets Prince Po, a Graceling gifted with combat skills, and they embark an a mission to save a princess. On the way, they discover their Graces are not what they thought — and they fall in love. Another reason I will not be recommending this to Ben. Oblique references to sex. I wonder if I would have entirely understood it at 13. A really good read.
