The children of Thayer Wren have been remarkable since the day they were born. Unsurprisingly, since Thayer was the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology. Telepathically and telekinetically gifted, his offspring - 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.

In the Ember Kingdom, a dying land riven by famine and disease, Daleth the evil Witch-King plots his conquest of the neighboring Freestates. Gifted with eternal youth, his vampiric power is responsible for the decay that afflicts his realm, and now other kingdoms must fall to quench his never-ending thirst for life. However, on the cusp of the invasion, Maya, a peasant huntress, is arrested, Daleth’s soldiers kill an old farmer’s wife, and a young outcast is reluctantly enlisted into the Witch-King’s army.

I killed a monster, and now I have magic. But then I died, too. I figured that was the end, but a mysterious group of strangers brought me back to life. Now, everything is different. I'm at the Arcane Academy for the Gifted, a school of magic where the women vastly outnumber the men. My days are for mastering my newfound power, and my nights—well, they are for "studying". Unfortunately, someone is sending monsters my way. I have to figure out who it is before they kill me. Because that resurrection thing was a onetime deal.

One letter was all it took to irrevocably change my life forever. It not only changes the course of my future, but also for those I am close to. Ending Mr. Z's life should have made things easier, yet his death has revealed so many more secrets and lies, and unleashed new enemies that were once allies. My previous priorities pale in comparison to the new ones I have, and these are ones that I will fight to the death for.

Many years ago, a barrier was created between the mortal world and the realm of the gods, a barrier to ensure balance. But although the gods could no longer walk among us they could still choose to gift their powers to a chosen few. Some saw these gifts as a blessing. Most saw them for what they were…a curse. Chiara is one of the Gifted, but what no one knows is that she is one of the rarest; gifted by the God of Death himself.

"What the gods give with one hand, they take away with the other, for if you are gifted, you shall also be cursed". The End of Dreams is the nervewracking and glorious conclusion to The Gifted and the Cursed trilogy. As Daleth the Witch-King and his horde ready themselves for the final battle, a small alliance prepares for a desperate last stand. However, the alliance is weak and fractured, led by a king interested only in retaining his wealth and a lord commander consumed by his thirst for revenge.

Team Zeus was designed to love and protect me, and they swore that they would do whatever it takes to keep me safe, even if that means I would never forgive them. It's a risk they say they're willing to take. But I'm no longer the little girl they swore to protect. I'm all grown up and refuse to rely on anyone other than myself. After all, I had finally figured out all of the secrets and lies, but it was all ripped away, and my heart was left shattered in pieces. So I have no choice but to pull myself together and get the vengeance I deserve.
