Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, this young adult fantasy follows the forbidden romance between a powerful prince and an ordinary girl as they try to survive their kingdom's grueling laws pitting them against each other.

She is the very thing he's spent his whole life hunting.
He is the very thing she's spent her whole life pretending to be.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya--the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that--ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime--making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be keenly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can to stay alive and out of trouble...easier said than done.

When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya's princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites' powers--the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don't kill her, the prince she's fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is...completely Ordinary.

Faca na garganta também é sinal de romantismo

Esse livro aqui é o puro suco do enemies to lovers genuíno onde demora mais de 20 capítulos para sequer ter uma mísera aproximação de bocas entre a personagem principal e o interesse amoroso.

O Kai é simplesmente um dos melhores book boyfriends que eu já vi, ele pode ser um mala com todo mundo mas com a personagem principal ele é a definição de príncipe. Além de servir beleza e sedução esse homem é bom em tudo que se propõe.

A Paedyn é a melhor ladra trambiqueira que temos, o desenvolvimento dela no livro é muito bom e a construção do relacionamento dela com o Kai é perfeita. A forma como ela lida com cada Trial do livro é sempre interessante e mostra a evolução da personagem.

Kitt é apenas o Kitt.

O livro todo serve muito entretenimento, com uma pegada meio Jogos Vorazes com todos os desafios dos Trials que têm, e a dinâmica dos jogos traz uma reviravolta atrás da outra.
