A thousand years ago, in a world of ordinaries, a snake was born
with magic. And so began the age of the Illuminaris.
Magic once ruled Eirinath-until the powerless found their place
in steel and science, and the gifted were cast aside. Now, the
Illuminaris and the Koinos stand divided, and the hatred
between them burns.
To keep peace, the king created the Ophis Ordeal-a brutal
annual trial that determines who holds power.
Seventeen-year-old Prairie Valerian, a Koinos, never intended to
enter. But when her gang's survival is threatened, she's forced
into the trials-where secrets are deadly, and every choice carves
a new scar.
Beside her is Rhyden Thalos-all sharp smiles, storm-dark eyes,
and the kind of danger that lingers in a room long after he's left
it. He's reckless, unpredictable...and hiding something that could
burn them all.
Can Prairie survive a war she never asked for?
Or will the trials destroy them first?
After all, those born ordinary rewrite the world.
