Only the extraordinary belongs in the Kingdom of Ilya. The Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in the most exciting and epic romance novel of the year. The elites have possessed powers granted to them by the plague for decades, while those born as ordinary are just that. Those without abilities are banished from the kingdom and must live in the slums – the Ordinary have a tough life. No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray. She will do anything to survive and stay out of trouble, even if it means pretending to be a seer to fit in among the elites. But when Paedyn unknowingly saves Kai Azer, a prince of Ilya, she finds herself in the Purging Trials, a ruthless competition that showcases the powers of the elites – exactly what Paedyn is incapable of. Either the Trials or the opponents will kill her, or the prince for whom she develops feelings will do it when he discovers what Paedyn truly is... completely ordinary.
