Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya\u2014the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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\u2014ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished in order to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime\u2014making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 overly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can in order to stay alive and out of trouble. Easier said than done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilyas princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites\u2019 powers\u2014the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don\u2019t kill her, the prince she\u2019s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is\u2014completely Ordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Goshen Public Library call number: <\/strong> YF ROBERTS POWERLESS BK.1(BOOK-YA)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Lauren Roberts Year of Publication:\u00a02024 A summary from Goodreads:\u00a0 She is the very thing he\u2019s spent his whole life hunting.He is the very thing she\u2019s spent her whole life pretending to be.
