Resumen del Editor

A New York Times bestseller!

This sparkling edition includes a special case stamping, bonus content, and a teaser to book two in this heart-pounding series!

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.

at first I thought hunger games knock off but holy crap it's good

I haven't left a book with this many emotions swirling since I read acotar. the narration is beautiful. There is no smut and yet the romance aspect is heartbreakingly beautiful. I can't wait for the next book. I wish I had held off almost because now my brain is nagging at me for how she will resolve this. as long as in the end Kai and pay end up together, I'll be a happy girl. I don't care if it takes ten books but give them a happy ending so I can live peacefully. argh I loved this so much more than I ever could have expected.

Maybe spoiler?

I really like it all the way until the last few chapters.. I personally am not a fan of that trope. But maybe the next book will clear things up.. I hope lol but was good nonetheless

LOVED

This book was soo good. Definitely gives hunger game vibes. Uhh I need Kai and Paedyn to love each other in the second book but I have a feeling this is a gonna be a long roller coaster series for us

Overall good

It was a fairly good read. Slightly overhyped but entertaining. Many romantasy books are pretty predictable at this point.

Need the second book asap

Loved this story, narrators were perfect! Need the second book now! I appreciate that for her there was never a triangle just a straight line in the relationships because the triangle is a killer for me.

This story is in my top teir list.

absolutely loved this story the performances were spectacular. I can't wait for the next!

wow

that ending was insane! I can't wait to see what happens when the 2 mc meet up again. how long until the next book? I need it now!

loved it!

i can be pretty picky with books but i really liked this one! i sat through a five hour car ride listening to this the entire time and didn’t get bored once.

The story

Love this book! It reminds me of a better Hunger Games! No smut but the tension between the characters is amazing!

Intensely awesome

I need the next book absolutely now!!!! So unexpectedly good. Loved the narration. Chef’s kiss!
