Summary:

In the kingdom of Ilya, power is everything—literally. The magical Elites rule with supernatural abilities, while the powerless “Ordinaries” live in fear and poverty. Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary orphaned by the king’s brutal regime, survives by hiding in plain sight—posing as one of the gifted. When a reckless act draws attention to her secret, Paedyn is thrust into the Purging Trials: a deadly competition designed to test and eliminate threats to the throne. Surrounded by ruthless Elites, she must rely on wit, cunning, and the very lies that have kept her alive. But when she crosses paths with Kai Azer, the powerful—and infuriating—son of the king, things become dangerously complicated. As alliances shift and tensions rise, Paedyn must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect her secret… and her heart.
