Description: 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 in order 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 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.

When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilyas 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.

Let's see the new Wicked movie in theaters together!

Location and time are TBD until I can find showtimes.

Date can be adjusted if needed but wanted to put this on here as a place holder. Thanks for the idea Sara! 😊

I thought we could all bring a wrapped book as a gift and exchange them with each other - sort of like a 'blind date with a book'. When each person choses a book and opens it, the person who bought the book can talk a little about why they like the book so much.

I'm setting these rules in advance haha:

1. Only those who bring a book can participate. If you forget to bring a book you're more than welcome to come but we won't have enough books for you (unless someone wants to bring extra).

2. This probably goes without saying but, since you won't know who's receiving the book- please make sure it's a fantasty romance book of some sort. 😊

We could potentially do a secret Santa instead if you guys wanted to know who the book is for, but up to you! Maybe we could all try and pick lesser known authors to try and reduce the likelihood that someone else has read it? 🤷‍♀️
