In a kingdom where extraordinary powers are everything and ordinary people are exiled—or worse—Paedyn has survived by faking her abilities and staying invisible. But when she accidentally saves a prince, her carefully constructed lies catapult her into the brutal Purging Trials, where she'll have to outwit powerful Elites while hiding the dangerous secret that she has no powers at all. As she battles her way through the competition and the growing feelings she has for the very prince hunting people like her, Paedyn discovers that sometimes the most powerful thing you can be is exactly what everyone says you're not. This is a gripping, enemies-to-lovers fantasy that'll have you rooting for an underdog who refuses to play by the kingdom's rules.

Think Hozier's haunting whispers, Clairo's intimacy, and sweeping cinematic strings. Yearning duets, whispered confessions, and the quiet courage of defiance. A kingdom of secrets wrapped in bittersweet romance.”
