About the Book

In the kingdom of Ilya, everyone is born with a power. Everyone, that is, except Paedyn Gray.

In a world where the Ordinary are hunted and killed, Paedyn has survived by doing the one thing that could get her executed: pretending. Blending in among the Elites, she has mastered the art of faking abilities she doesn't have — until one reckless act of compassion thrusts her into the spotlight she has spent her whole life avoiding.

Now she's been chosen to compete in the Purging Trials — a brutal, deadly competition where Elites fight for glory and survival. And the most dangerous person watching her? Prince Kai — cold, calculating, and far too perceptive for her liking.

As the trials grow deadlier and the secrets between them deepen, Paedyn must decide: how long can she keep pretending before everything falls apart?
