The Gifted — Katie Galvin

Tahereh Mafi meets Sarah J. Maas in this breathless dark fantasy featuring morally grey characters, a love triangle and the biggest twists you won't see coming!

Many years ago, a barrier was created between the mortal world and the realm of the gods, a barrier to ensure balance.

But although the gods could no longer walk among us they could still choose to gift their powers to a chosen few.

Some saw these gifts as a blessing. Most saw them for what they were…a curse.

Chiara is one of the Gifted, but what no one knows is that she is one of the rarest; gifted by the God of Death himself.

As a child she was sold to the king by her own mother and forced to become a weapon of destruction, cutting down the enemy with brutal precision.

But now Chiara faces an impending threat that could unravel the world. She must decide who to trust â€" the man whose smile and charm comes so easily, or the dark prince who's known betrayal like she has?
