What this book is about
In the second Powerless trilogy novel, Paedyn Gray has survived the first Purging Trials and returned to Ilya, only to find the world she fought to change is more dangerous than before. New trials, new enemies, and the ongoing impossible relationship between Paedyn and Kai define a darker second volume that raises the stakes of the dystopian romance considerably.
