In a post-apocalyptic world, Ruthie must confront a dark regime while harnessing her unique powers in Giften, a gripping tale of resilience.
In Giften, a young girl named Ruthie navigates a harsh, post-apocalyptic world where survival is a daily struggle. The aftermath of an event known as The Darkening has left the land barren, and the people of the Field are forced to toil on parched earth, desperately trying to cultivate a life amidst dwindling resources. The setting is bleak, yet it serves as a backdrop for a tale of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
Ruthie, gifted with a rare ability to raise food from dead soil, is considered a savior by her isolated community. However, her powers also make her a target for a sinister regime that seeks to exploit the Giften. As the dark army of the City intensifies its hunt for those like her, Ruthie finds herself in a precarious position. The struggle between survival and oppression becomes increasingly personal as she grapples with her identity and the responsibilities that come with her gift.
As the threat from the City looms larger, Ruthie and her friends must leave their familiar surroundings and embark on a perilous quest. This journey will not only test their courage but also lead them to confront the dark forces that threaten their very existence. In Giften, the stakes are high, and a battle for freedom is on the horizon, challenging the characters to rise above their fears and fight for a better future.
