Gifted & Talented

Publisher Description

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes 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.

Where there’s a will, there’s a war.


Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne.

Or at least, so they like to think.

Meredith, textbook accomplished eldest daughter and the head of her own groundbreaking biotech company, has recently cured mental illness. You're welcome! If only her father's fortune wasn't her last hope for keeping her journalist ex-boyfriend from exposing what she really is: a total fraud.

Arthur, second-youngest congressman in history, fights the good fight every day of his life. And yet, his wife might be leaving him, and he's losing his re-election campaign. But his dead father’s approval in the form of a seat on the Wrenfare throne might just turn his sinking ship around.

Eilidh, once the world's most famous ballerina, has spent the last five years as a run-of-the-mill marketing executive at her father’s company after a life-altering injury put an end to her prodigious career. She might be lacking in accolades compared to her siblings, but if her father left her everything, it would finally validate her worth—by confirming she'd been his favorite all along.

On the pipeline of gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins—but which Wren will come out on top?

Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Gifted & Talented By: Olivie Blake Fantastic. Amazing. Witty, Clever. Wonderful. Gosh I just love Olivie. She has such a unique writing style that draws you in immediately. Thank you so much Tor books for this ARC. As soon as the book begins, we are introduced to three ridiculously outrageous in their own way siblings. Meredith is the eldest of the family, and she is working on the release of an app that is supposed to cure depression… then there is Arthur who is deep in his partying, drugs, and.. erm.. his thruple with his wife on the side? Then we have Eilidh who is more of a softer character.. once a ballerina star but now forced to settle for working for her fathers company after a career ending injury. When their father passes away unexpectedly, the three are forced together as they face off to figure out who their father left his company too and other items in his will. “When there’s a will, there’s a war” sums this book up perfectly. Loved that their was even a flare of magic in this. The characters are so twisted and quirky. This book really had it all. Couldn’t put it down. This releases 4/1! Can’t wait for more from Olivie.”
“This was too long. In the acknowledgments Olivie Blake mentioned that Seanan McGuire once pointed out that audiences more readily accept a family or friend group ensemble with more men in it than women so she intentionally did not do that here, and I appreciate that.”
