In the kingdom of Ilya, where the extraordinary reign supreme, Paedyn Gray navigates a dangerous deception. As an Ordinary masquerading as a Psychic among the powerful Elites, she risks everything to blend in. When she saves Prince Kai Azer, she unwittingly becomes a contestant in the Purging Trials—a deadly competition showcasing Elite powers.

As Paedyn battles both opponents and her growing feelings for Kai, the stakes escalate. Her secret could cost her not just her life in the Trials, but also the trust and affection of the prince she's come to care for deeply.

Set against a backdrop of intrigue and peril, this thrilling fantasy romance, reminiscent of Red Queen and The Hunger Games, explores loyalty, deception, and the high cost of belonging in a kingdom divided by power and privilege.
