The Gifted Chronicles

The Gifted Chronicles

Three generations. One gift. One war worth fighting.

Young Adult. Paranormal. Supernatural.

A mother who sacrificed everything. A daughter who never knew why. And an organization that has hunted families like theirs for generations, hiding behind the promise of “help.”

The World of the Gifted

For generations, the Institution has hunted people born with supernatural gifts — mediumship, psychometry, and abilities darker still — hiding its cruelty behind the language of treatment and rehabilitation. This is the story of one family caught in that war across three lives: a mother who chose sacrifice, a daughter raised in hiding who never knew why, and the gift passed between them that the Institution never saw coming.

Book One

Shattered

Everything she was taught to believe just came apart in her hands.

Amanda Packard was raised to serve the Institution and fear her own family's gifts. Then Fate sat down beside her on a park bench and told her the truth: the organization she trusted isn't protecting people like her — it's hunting them. Pregnant and running out of time, Amanda has to decide what kind of mother she's going to be, and what she's willing to sacrifice to give her daughter a future the Institution can't touch.

Book Two

Awakened

She's spent her whole life feeling invisible. That's about to change.

Sixteen years after her mother disappeared, Nia Packard is just the quiet foster kid nobody notices — until her gift erupts in the middle of a crowded cafeteria and her consciousness ends up somewhere it shouldn't be. As Nia learns to control a power capable of walking through other people's lives, she starts uncovering the truth about the mother she never knew, the grandmother locked away for decades, and exactly why the Institution has been watching her family all along.

Book Three

Provoked

The girl they called invisible just declared war.

The invisible girl is gone. In her place is someone the Institution never saw coming — someone willing to walk into their walls wearing another person's skin and walk back out with every prisoner they thought she'd never find. But freeing the captured means confronting the one person behind the Institution's cruelty that Nia never expected: family. Some wars are fought for a cause. This one is fought for blood.
