Gifts by Ursula K. Le Guin

Set in a clan-based society where certain families inherit unusual abilities, the novel follows two young cousins, Orrec and Gry, as they come of age and confront what their gifts demand of them. Orrec wrestles with the moral cost of a family power he never wanted, while Gry learns to use her skill to survive and assert her independence. Their lives intersect amid violence, obligation, and choices about how to wield—or refuse—power, exploring themes of responsibility, identity, and the ethics of inherited talent.
