About this listen

RETURN TO ILYA WITH THIS UNMISSABLE COMPANION TO THE MILLION COPY BESTSELLING POWERLESS TRILOGY.

From the No. 1 international bestselling author of Powerless, comes a sizzling and heart-racing story set in the Kingdom of Ilya. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games and Fourth Wing.

Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they’d always protect each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But now Paedyn – an Ordinary – has been selected for The Purging Trials, which means almost certain death.

Now alone in Loot, Adena must fend for herself. After attempting to steal, it’s a mysterious man from the market who comes to her rescue. Mak’s shadowy past and secretive power set him apart from the other low-level Elites of Loot. And as the pair team up to see their loved ones before the Trials begin, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives…

The book is not long compared to the usual length, but it is one of the best I’ve ever listened to. I couldn’t put it down and have cried my eyes out at the very end. It is just brilliant

Heartbreaking and pure story

It is a lovely little novela to understand the story of Adena and Makoto(Mak). I was sobbing at the end of the book and am very curious how Mak is related to this story.
