Gifts that bind us

Maeve, Roy, Fiona and Lily spend their last summer of pre-school secretly training to use their special gifts, which they received after the ritual. The friends are most worried about their final exams and the beginning of adulthood. Until Aaron bursts into their lives again. He invites Maeve to join his radical organization "Children of Brigid", and when the girl refuses, threatens her. Soon Maeve loses her ability to read minds, and Fiona - to heal. Their experienced witch friend Nuala attracts an unexpected assistant, because the matter is serious - all magic may disappear from Kilbeg.

In the sequel to her debut novel for teenagers, Our Hidden Gifts, Irish author Caroline O'Donoghue delves even deeper into the theme of magic, skillfully combining it with important teenage issues: relationships, finding one's purpose, coming to terms with oneself and the world.
