In the kingdom of Ilya, only the exceptional—Elites—hold power, gifted their abilities by a deadly Plague. Ordinary citizens like Paedyn Gray, who lack these powers, are deemed criminals and banished to the slums. Trained by her father to blend in, Paedyn poses as a Psychic to survive. But when she unknowingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, she’s thrown into the brutal Purging Trials, a deadly competition meant to display the Elites’ powers. Paedyn, who has no powers to speak of, must fight for her life while hiding the truth of her Ordinary nature. If the Trials don’t kill her, the prince she’s beginning to care for just might—once he discovers what she truly is.
