Here’s the set-up for Talented:
Talented is an emotionally raw, mind-bending tale about the life of a girl with extraordinary psychic powers, and what happens when a heart is torn between love and rage.
Talia Lyons is Talented. She is a Mental Manipulator: able to read the minds of others and manipulate their thoughts. Her childhood obliterated by the merciless killing of her parents, Talia became dedicated to honing her naturally extraordinary Talent into an unprecedented asset. Her life’s Mission? Vengeance upon the man responsible for her shattered existence. The man responsible for the bloodshed marring her memories of the family she lost: Ian Crane.
Now, at seventeen, there is only one obstacle between Talia and the retribution she yearns for.  Talia must spend a year in the Hunters’ Village- the headquarters of the country’s elite covert Operatives – where she will acquire both the training and the access to eliminate Crane.
Luckily, the love of Talia’s life is also based there.  Donavon is the only person Talia has relied on since her loss.  But Donavon is hiding crucial secrets, beyond the mental barriers Talia swore never to cross with him.  Erik, her teammate and the Casanova of the compound, certainly doesn’t mind looking into it, though. The things that Erik says, the unbidden annoyance and frustration she feels towards him, plus the reasons why his opinion in particular bothers her: these are distractions Talia cannot allow. 
Talia can't afford to have the feelings and distractions of an ordinary teenage girl.  Because she may not know it yet, but her powers, her life, and Talia herself are destined to change the entire world.

About the Author
"Sophie Davis" is a pseudonym for two best friends, roommates, and now writing/business partners. The pair met at Penn State's Dickinson School of Law in 2005, and have been making mischief, mayhem, and stories together ever since. After they graduated, when one longed for the ability to read minds so she wouldn't have to study for the bar exam, a Saga was born.
Two years ago they released Talented, Sophie Davis' debut novel and the first in the five-book Talented Saga. Three of the follow-ups, Caged, Hunted, and Created have since been released, as well as a novella, Captivated. All of these have been on multiple Bestseller Lists in five countries.
Both halves of Sophie Davis currently live in Washington, D.C. They practice law by day, and stay up into the wee hours of the night crafting new story ideas and perfecting existing ones. Both are compulsive list-makers, self-proclaimed horror movie aficionados, and birthday cake lovers. One is a coffee addict, while the other should own stock in Five Hour Energy. The only time they disagree is when it comes to mindless television: one Sophie would be happy if Bravo was the only channel available, while the other Sophie can't seem to get enough of Bones and Psych. Together they own three adorable dogs, who are the girls' faithful companions as they navigate the world of Indie Publishing.
The duo is presently hard at work on the Blind Barriers Serials, as well as the final book in the Talented Saga, Inescapable (exp. Summer/Fall 2014), and the second book in the Nightmares Trilogy, Sacrifice, (exp. Fall/Winter 2014). In 2015 they will be releasing a new series they're both very excited about, and anxious to begin writing. It is doubtful the pair will ever run out of ideas.
When the two aren't discussing new marketing strategies or typing furiously, they can be found shopping in Georgetown, running in Rock Creek Park, or at the local dive bars in their Columbia Heights Neighborhood.
