"Gathering Blue" is a story about a girl named Kira who has a twisted leg and lives in a society where people who cannot work die. She is cared for by her mother but when her mother dies Kira must appear before the Council of Guardians, who spare her life once she shows them that she can weave and embroider. She is given the job of repairing the robes for the Singer, who's job is only to sing and must bring a song once a year. Kira discovers she must dye her own thread and learns all the plants to use for all colors but blue. As time goes on she realizes that the people with gifts are prisoners and some are even made to wear chains.
