Speculative fantasy fiction at its best

There is an ancient clan war raging all around us.

We don’t know it, but the war is over the control of our minds.

The Peithosian Gift is an intelligent and fast-paced dark fantasy adventure about two warring clans with the power to control the minds of others. 

Since ancient times, the Morgans and the Kanes have violently disputed the right to use their gift. The present-day Morgans are outnumbered and persecuted by the Kanes for using their gift; most are in hiding, while others avenge the slaughter of their kin. The Kanes hunt and kill Morgans to prevent a mind-controlled world. While one clan seeks a ‘saviour’ to restore the balance, the other fears the birth of a child whose gifts are too strong.

Radha, born of a third, lost clan, has superior powers that she is scarcely able to control. Events lead to a clash of clan leaders and key players, forcing Radha on the run with both sides hunting her.
