The Gift Held (GIFTBORN Saga Book 1)

In a world where everyone gives, her touch takes.Nine ages ago, the world ran on owing — a mark in the wrist, a debt collected in the dark. The bearers broke it, and the free world swore its one sacred oath: never again the closed hand. Now giving is everything. Warmth flows freely, the got-books record who gives, and no one looks at the thin places where the warmth pools, drains, and doesn’t come back.She was born in one. The only girl in the free world whose hands run the wrong way — whose touch takes what others give. Her village calls her cursed. The dying ground beneath them calls her something else.Because something old is still down there, drinking what the givers pour away. And the world’s most shameful girl is about to learn that a hand that can close may be the only thing that can hold.Book One of the five-book GIFTBORN series — complete and available now
