The Gifted trilogy is set in 14th-century Italy and follows a group of believers who discover they have supernatural abilities tied to their faith. The Begotten (2006) introduces the Gifted as they are identified and gathered together. The Betrayed (2007) and The Blessed (2008) raise the stakes as both ecclesiastical and secular powers try to control or destroy them.
The series blends medieval historical fiction with spiritual warfare and elements of fantasy. It shares a setting with Bergren’s later River of Time series, though the two are not directly connected.
