This tale began as a book-within-a-book in the author's latest novel. In Palimpsest, it is a strange book for children written in the 1920s, about a young girl spirited away to Fairyland by the Green Wind, and her adventures there. The author had never planned to write it, but in a bid to pay her bills, Catherynne M. Valente has decided to post a chapter every Monday until the novel is done and let readers pay whatever they think it's worth. Two chapters are already out, so why not try it?

I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but seriously. This book is GORGEOUS and you should buy it on that basis alone. But if you need more than that to convince you...
Graced with the art of killing, Katsa has been able to kill a grown man with her bare hands since she was eight. Her uncle the king uses her to keep his barons in line, but after ten years of torturing people for the king's selfish reasons, Katsa is tired of being feared. She tries to make up for what she does for her uncle by forming her Council, a group of nobles dedicated to helping people affected by the greedy kings of the Seven Kingdoms. While on a mission for the Council she meets a mysterious stranger who fights almost as well as she does. This sets off an adventure that takes Katsa and the stranger through the Seven Kingdoms. The danger is far greater than they could imagine, though, and it will take their combined Graces to survive.
