We all have gifts, things which define us, make us who we are. Sometimes even affect our decisions and choices in life, for instance what artist doesn't have a gift for art? Now there are these gifts, and then there are... others. Stronger gifts, better gifts, ones that don't affect our decisions, but quite honestly, often make them, create them and control them. These gifts are shared by a scant few, not birthrights, not even gifts as such, but abilities forced upon them whether they want them or not, and with these gifts, sometimes the line is blurred and the choice isn't clear, between the good and the bad. And sometimes, the choice is made for them. Book one in the Mortal Birthrights -eventual- trilogy Thanks to Eric Saeran for the amazing cover.
