#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.

POWERFUL ⭐
"“HER SEWING FINGERS… THEY BROKE HER SEWING FINGERS” i might actually be messed up in the head for reading this and knowing the ending like genuinely i ruined myself on purpose. I love adena so much like my gurl did not deserve that at all and im so sad she didnt get the ending she deserved like my heart can’t handle her she’s so strong and broken and perfect at the same time and every single line hit me in the chest. My love for this book is equivalent to Adena's love for sticky bun. 😭🥺 FIVE STARS FOR ADENA ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
