Where there’s a will, there’s a war.
From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, magical realism meets Succession in Gifted & Talented.
Thayer Wren, brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech, is dead. As the ‘father of modern technology’, he leaves an incredible legacy. But which of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children is to inherit the Wrenfare throne?
Meredith, head of her own profitable company, is lauded for practically curing mental illness. If only her journalist ex-boyfriend wasn’t set on exposing her for what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman ever, wants to do everything right. Except he’s losing his re-election campaign and his wife might be leaving him. Heading Wrenfare could relaunch his sinking ship. Eilidh was a world-famous ballerina until a life-altering injury ended her dancing career. Gaining the company might finally validate her worth.
On the pipeline of gifted-kid-to-clinically-depressed-adult, nobody wins. Yet, as they gather to read Thayer’s final words, which Wren will come out on top?
Gifted & Talented is a compulsive story of family, twisted love and dangerous secrets from a writer at the peak of her powers.
