Benedict Savant Books in Order

At the heart of the Benedict Savant series is the idea that some people are savants, born with extraordinary mental abilities, and each has one perfect counterpart known as a soulfinder. The Benedict family, seven brothers from Colorado, sit at the center of that hidden world. Through their stories, Joss Stirling mixes psychic powers with everyday teenage concerns, from starting at a new school to figuring out who you can trust. The result feels part road trip, part family saga, part paranormal romance.

The opening trilogy, starting with Finding Sky, follows the three youngest Benedict brothers, Zed, Yves and Xav. In each book an outsider girl discovers both her savant gift and her connection to one of the brothers: Sky moves from England to the Rocky Mountains and finds that the school bad boy can talk inside her head, Phoenix is a London street thief raised by a criminal gang, and Crystal is the supposed dud of a powerful family who would rather be anywhere but center stage. Their relationships grow alongside dangerous confrontations with corrupt savants, kidnappers and crime families.

Later books broaden the focus to Misty, Angel and Summer, a trio of friends who keep stumbling into Benedict business. Misty literally cannot lie, a curse and a blessing when a killer starts targeting young savants, and her sharp tongue puts her in conflict with confident Alex. Angel, a musician who can control water, falls for Marcus at a music festival even as the authorities close in on the savant community. Summer, weighed down by a dark shadow in her mind, is sent on a high risk mission with soldier Hal, where attraction and suspicion run side by side.

One of the pleasures of the series is how far it travels. The brothers and their soulfinders move from small town Colorado to London backstreets, Venetian canals, South African game reserves, Cambridge colleges and far beyond. Each book offers a self contained romance and mystery, but they also build a wider picture of a community under threat and a family that routinely drops everything to protect its own.

Expect cliff edge rescues, banter between siblings and a steady thread of hope that even the most damaged characters can find a place where they belong. If you like your paranormal romance with strong families, telepathy and plenty of travel, this is the world to start with.
