Gifted & Talented

by Olivie Blake Narrated by Not Yet Available

Overview

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes Gifted & Talented, an epic, never-before-published standalone that reads like Succession with magic

The heirs of Persephone Liang and Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, have been remarkable since the day they were born. Telepathically and electrokinetically gifted, Meredith, Arthur, and Eilidh Wren are publicly admired and privately capable of extraordinary feats. Any of the Wren prodigies would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne.

Or at least, so they like to think.

On the day of Thayer Wren's unexpected demise, the lives of the three Wren siblings are in various states of chaos and disrepair. Meredith, now the CEO of her own profitable company, is knee-deep in a dystopian capitalist grift, still haunted by the ghost of a childhood friend and facing imminent exposure by the ex-boyfriend she hasn't spoken to in years. Congressman Arthur Wren is wrestling with a disgruntled constituency and a strange, magical misfiring that can only be called the yips. Eilidh, a former prima ballerina whose spinal injury ended her career, now finds herself capable of accidental, uncontrolled apocalypse. In the wake of Thayer's loss, the Wrens return to their childhood home to reckon with their contentious relationships with their father-and each other.

On the pipeline of gifted kid-to-clinical depression, nobody wins-but which Wren will rise to the top?

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

PRAISE FOR THE ATLAS TRILOGY

“The Atlas Six introduces six of the most devious, talented, and flawed characters to ever find themselves in a magical library, and then sets them against one another in a series of stunning betrayals and reversals. As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight."—Holly Black, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Night

"If you’re looking for a book you will want to talk about for a long time (and have plenty of people to talk to about), The Atlas Six is it."—Buzzfeed

“Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go. Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent.”—Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

"This dark academia masterpiece will have you gripping the edge of your seat as you turn page by page."—Isaac Fitzgerald on The Today Show

“Compelling, entertaining, and addictive. The Atlas Six is academic Darwinism: survival of the smartest with a healthy dose of magic.”—T.L. Huchu, author of The Library of The Dead

“This chilling story of ambition and magic will make you question your own morals as you grow to love (and hate) its fascinating, ruthless cast of characters. I utterly devoured this book.”—Amanda Foody, New York Times bestselling author of All of Us Villains
