Powerful

In the harsh and unforgiving slums of Loot, Adena and Paedyn forged an unbreakable bond, growing up together amidst adversity. Paedyn, an Ordinary with no extraordinary abilities, has just been selected for The Purging Trials—a deadly event that almost certainly means his demise. As Paedyn faces this harrowing challenge, Adena is left to fend for herself in the perilous environment of Loot.

Amidst her struggle for survival, Adena's life takes an unexpected turn when she is rescued from a failed theft by a mysterious man named Mak. Unlike the other low-level Elites in Loot, Mak possesses a secretive power and shadowy past that make him both intriguing and dangerous. Together, Adena and Mak set out on a daring quest to reunite with their loved ones before the Trials commence. This journey will test their loyalty, their burgeoning feelings for each other, and their will to survive.
