The Banished series begins with Hailey Tarbell, a teenager in rural Missouri, discovering she can heal people by touching them. This gift comes with a cost and attracts attention from those who want to control or weaponize her abilities.
The four books span from 2010 to 2021, with a significant gap between the second and third entries. Hailey’s story mixes small-town life with paranormal threats, and the series explores what happens when an ordinary teenager becomes extraordinary in ways that make her a target.
