The Grace Year by Kim Liggett is a speculative young adult thriller set in Garner County, where girls undergo a mysterious and brutal tradition called the grace year. At sixteen, girls are banished to the wild to release their magic and return purified, but survival is far from guaranteed. Protagonist Tierney James faces not only the dangers of the wilderness but also the threat posed by her peers. The novel explores the harsh realities of growing up, female bonds, and the difficult choices that shape the women these girls become.

Description

The instant New York Times bestseller, Kim Liggett's The Grace Year is a speculative YA thriller in the vein of The Hunger Games and The Power, now in trade paperback.

No one speaks of the grace year. It's forbidden.

In Garner County, girls are banished for their sixteenth year to release their magic into the wild so they can return purified and ready for marriage.

But not all of them will make it home alive.

Tierney James dreams of a better life—but as her own grace year draws near, she quickly realises that there's more to fear about the grace year than the brutal elements and the poachers in the woods.

Their greatest threat may very well be each other.

With sharp prose and gritty realism, Liggett's The Grace Year examines the complex and sometimes twisted relationships between girls, the women they eventually become, and the difficult decisions they make in-between.
