Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this sizzling fantasy romance not to be missed.

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

No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her ‘Elite’ powers.

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

Be swept away by the first in the smash hit, dagger-to-the-throat romantasy trilogy that's taken the world by storm.

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.
