Perfect
for fans of Sarah J. Maas, this young adult fantasy follows the forbidden
romance between a powerful prince and an ordinary girl as they try to survive
their kingdom's grueling laws pitting them against
each other.
She
is the very thing he's spent his whole life hunting.
He is the very thing she's spent her whole life pretending to be.
Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya--the
exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed
for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were
fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born
Ordinary are just that--ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries
be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a
crime--making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief
by necessity.
Surviving
in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn
knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be keenly
observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a
Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can to
stay alive and out of trouble...easier said than done.
When
Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya's princes,
she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists
to showcase the Elites' powers--the very thing Paedyn
lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don't kill her, the prince
she's fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she
is...completely Ordinary.
