Our Review

#1 New York Times Bestseller Set during the events of the New York Times bestseller Powerless, this captivating novella gives fan-favorite Adena a story all her own as she attempts to survive on the streets of Loot…and falls for a mysterious—and dangerous—Elite. Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they would always protect each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But now Paedyn—an Ordinary—has been selected for the Purging Trials, which means almost certain death. Now alone in Loot, Adena must fend for herself. After attempting to steal, she’s rescued by a mysterious man from the market. Mak’s shadowy past and secretive power set him apart from the other low-level Elites of Loot. And as the pair team up to see their loved ones before the Trials, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives.
