A religious thriller. An epic historical. An award-winning author with one million books in print. Second in the breathtaking trilogy.
The first book in Lisa T. Bergren's Gifted trilogy, The Begotten, was hailed by Library Journal as "a full-bodied, absorbing tale that combines authentic historical detail with a universally appealing and gripping story that will have readers cheering." Now the breathtaking quest of the spiritually empowered Gifted ones-prophesized in a long-lost illuminated letter from the apostle Paul-continues as the healer, the priest, and the knight gather together to fight a battle in a profound new war. For the enemies of the Gifted are gathering, led by an evil lord who will do anything to destroy their unwavering faith.

A must read:
I love to read and I found these books by Barb & J.C, Hendee one of the best books I have read in a long time. I can't wait until the next book comes out.
Great second in the series!:
I totally loved the first book in this series, The Begotten. It was fabulous. The second book in this series, The Betrayed was just as good. I recommend reading the series in order. There was a point in the middle of The Betrayed when I put this book down due to other commitments, but when I picked it up again I was pulled right back into that world.

On the edge "THE BETRAYED":
After reading THE BEGOTTEN I was hooked and quickly located THE BETRAYED to read. Then I realized the third book wasn't out yet and am still on the edge waiting for it. Bergren has a way of weaving her story with history and religion that makes me want to learn more. Not only is the message important but the way it is presented is exciting enough you can't put it down. HIGHLY recommend "THE GIFTED" series by Lisa T. Bergren.
Even Better than the First!!!:
Hard to believe Lisa Bergren could out do herself, but she did! The 2nd of the Gifted Series is even better than the first. If any drawback, its that I found these before the 3rd book was out. I am counting the days to see how this plays out. Excellent characters and storyline. And nothing beats the message!
