A BLIGHTED LAND
Ever since The Darkening, survival has been a struggle. The people of the Field toil on parched earth, trying to forge a life amid dwindling resources.
A GIFT
As one of the Giften, Ruthie is a saviour to her isolated community: her hands hold the rare ability to raise food from dead soil. But she is also its greatest danger.
A SINISTER REGIME
In the City lurks a dark army, intent on hunting Giften to harness their power, destroying all who stand in their way. With the threat growing ever stronger, Ruthie and her friends must leave behind all they have ever known and embark on a quest that will pitch them towards the City, and unknowable danger. One way or another, a battle is coming.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Gripping, haunting and compelling. Tense and pacy, it explores ideas around the climate crisis in an original concept that's both beautiful and startling, touching on exploitation, greed but ultimately hope. Definitely one for fans of Black Mirror or John Wyndham - Liz Hyder, author of Bearmouth
A vividly imagined dystopia furnished with memorable characters and urgent, believable conflicts - M.R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
Beautiful writing and intricate world-building... This is an absolutely thrilling story with a unique and memorable voice - The Scotsman
A haunting dystopian thriller that will have readers on the edge of their seats as it provokes thought, and very possibly action, too...Giften is a hauntingly pertinent novel of our times. - LoveReading4Kids
