Summary

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya . . . Red Queen meets The Hunger Games in this epic and sizzling fantasy romance not to be missed.

The Elites have possessed powers for decades, gifted to them by the Plague, while those born Ordinary are just that, banished from the kingdom of Ilya and shunned from society.

No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as a Psychic to blend in with the Elites. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition showcasing the Elites’ powers.

If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for will if he discovers what Paedyn is . . . completely Ordinary.

Be swept away by the first in the romantasy trilogy taking the world by storm, containing a special sneak peek of the second book!

Witty and Addictive

The characters are amazing, easy to recognise and the story keeps your attention. love it and oind myself shouting at the characters when things were going wrong! also, I'm invested in the relationships and love the humour and wit

Predictable but enjoyable

Perfect for those who enjoy hunger games. Felt very like a mix between hunger games and goblet of fire. Decent listen (read) but felt like the world building could have been fleshed out more but maybe we’ll get that in the next one. Overall enjoyable and I thought the narrators did a good job.

Might be a bit overrated

I'm not pretentious. I don't ask for much. Just give me one moment of "wow" and you have me. But no, same predictable story, nothing new, nothing extraordinary. The narrators on the other hand did a very fine job
