Publisher's summary

"What the gods give with one hand, they take away with the other, for if you are gifted, you shall also be cursed."

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. Three seemingly innocuous events that nonetheless have the potential to alter the destiny of generations to come.

For Maya is gifted with the ability to heal and can influence the hearts and minds of men if she but finds the strength to do so. The young recruit carries a gift of reading thoughts and has no love for the king he serves. As for the vengeful farmer…he’s an ancient warrior gifted in reaping souls who now seeks to fulfil a long-forgotten oath against unbeatable odds.

The world will soon be soaked by the blood of war, but with these three individuals’ lives inescapably entwined, the faint light of hope begins to shine. Alliances will have to be forged, enemies convinced to become friends, and a flicker of love given a chance to become a flame for there to be a chance to fight the encroaching darkness of the Witch-King's evil.

The Gifted and the Cursed: A dark fantasy trilogy set in a dystopian land, with heroes that are at times more demonic than the evil they face. The bloody battles, quests for revenge, and fights for survival are artfully balanced with a light romance, tales of redemption, and the breath-taking beauty of Maya’s gift.

For lovers of epic fantasy, dark fantasy, sword and sorcery, fantasy romance, coming-of-age tales.

Enter in to a great story

I am surprised that there haven't been any reviews on this series yet. The story traveled on at a steady pace. I never got bored with the characters. They were developed at a steady pace. They grew into one's who became traveling partners and friends. You would be proud to have them as your own companions in life. There wasn't any silliness or fake Ness with the MC's. It was an enjoyable read and now I am starting book two and continue the adventure.
