Powerful (Saga Powerless 1.5)

What would you do for your best friend if she were facing mortal danger? What would you do for a stranger if he turned out to be the love of your life? Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, and ever since, they have protected each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But Paedyn has been selected for the Purging Trials—a sentence that means almost certain death. Now, alone in Loot and terrified of losing her friend, Adena must fend for herself. After nearly getting caught stealing, she is rescued by Mak, a mysterious stranger with a dark past—and a loved one of his own competing in the Trials. Mak and Adena forge an alliance to help their friends, but the adventure will put their loyalties, their courage, and the love blossoming between them to the test.
