Klappentext

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. This is the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential.**

Thayer Wren is dead. As the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech, he leaves an incredible legacy. But which of his three children could inherit the Wrenfare throne?

Meredith, head of her own profitable company, has recently (apparently) cured mental illness. If only her journalist ex-boyfriend wasn't set on exposing what she really is: a total fraud.

Arthur, second-youngest congressman ever, wants to do everything right. Except his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. Heading Wrenfare could relaunch his sinking ship.

And Eilidh was a world-famous ballerina until a life-altering injury. But gaining control of the company might finally validate her worth.

All three are telepathically and electrokinetically gifted. But in the pipeline from gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins. As they gather to read their father's final words, who 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.
