About the Book

Powerless is the debut novel by Lauren Roberts and the first book in her bestselling YA fantasy romance trilogy, a genuine BookTok phenomenon often described as Red Queen meets The Hunger Games. Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya, a land reshaped decades ago by a devastating Plague that left some survivors with extraordinary powers, the Elites, while condemning everyone else, the Ordinaries, to be hunted, purged, or forced into hiding.

Eighteen-year-old Paedyn Gray has survived in the slums of Loot Alley ever since witnessing her father's brutal murder at the hands of the King's enforcer, killed for the crime of being unable to "show his power." Paedyn is an Ordinary herself, but she's spent her life hiding that secret behind a clever lie, posing as a mildly gifted Psychic using nothing but her sharp instincts, observation skills, and quick wit. When an act of bravery, saving a young boy from a collapsed building, is mistaken for a display of Elite power, Paedyn is thrust into the Purging Trials, a brutal, televised competition designed to showcase the Elites' abilities: the very thing she doesn't have. Her path collides with Prince Kai Azer, the kingdom's future Enforcer and the very person raised to hunt down people exactly like her. As the two are drawn into each other's orbit, forced together by the Trials and an undeniable, simmering tension, Paedyn must survive both her fellow competitors and the growing risk that her deadliest secret, the truth of what she really is, will be exposed to the one person who could destroy her.
