In a kingdom where being Ordinary can mean death, Adena must survive alone — until a mysterious stranger changes everything.

Adena and Paedyn have been inseparable since childhood, building a life together in the slums of Loot. But when Paedyn is chosen to compete in the deadly Purging Trials, Adena is suddenly left to fend for herself.

After a desperate attempt to steal goes wrong, Adena is rescued by Mak — a mysterious stranger with secrets of his own. As their connection grows, so does the danger surrounding them.
