Ella es lo que Ã©l ha pasado toda su vida cazando. Â¡l es todo lo que ella ha pasado la vida fingiendo ser. Solo lo extraordinario pertenece al reino de Ilya: los excepcionales, los poderosos, los Ã©lites. Aquellos que nacieron vulgares son solo eso: vulgares. Y cuando el rey decreta que todos los vulgares serÃ¡n eliminados para preservar su sociedad de Ã©lite, carecer de poder se vuelve un crimen, convirtiendo a Paedyn Gray en una criminal por destino y en una ladrona por necesidad. Se hace pasar por psÃquica en la ciudad real, pasando desapercibida para seguir viva y fuera de peligro. Cuando Paedyn inesperadamente salva a uno de los prÃncipes de Ilya, se ve arrojada a las Pruebas de la Purga. La brutal competiciÃ³n existe para exhibir los poderes de los Ã©lites, algo de lo que Paedyn carece. Si la Purga y sus rivales no la matan, lo harÃ¡ el prÃncipe cuando descubra lo que ella es en realidad... Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, this young adult fantasy follows the forbidden romance between a powerful prince and an ordinary girl as they try to survive their kingdom's grueling laws pitting them against each other.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 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 keenly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can to stay alive and out of trouble...easier said than done.

Youth group /

Morris, Jordan, (Comedy writer),


"Kay's new friends pray together... and slay together"--Front cover. School Library Journal, July 2024. Booklist starred, May 2024. Publishers Weekly, April 2024. Bulletin (Center for Children's Books), June 2024. Kirkus Review, May 2024. "When Kay reluctantly agreed to join the youth group at Stone Mission Church in Orange County California, she expected the Jesus talk and the dorky singalongs and the colorful posters about dodging temptation. What she didn't expect was to stumble on her youth group leaders, Meg and Cortland, in the middle of a real-deal exorcism. Turns out they're both soldiers in a secret organization of demon hunters in a war that's heating up, and even if Kay wanted to stay on the sidelines, she doesn't have a choice--she's a 'Blight,' a human who demons can't possess, and apparently that's made her a target. Will Kay find her place in a world that's so much more God-fearing and monster-fighting than what she's used to? Will the Stone Mission youth group find common cause with their badass peers of other faiths? Or will a pack of small-time demons use Blights like Kay as the key to starting some real big trouble?"--Amazon.
