Powerless

Powerless by Lauren Roberts transports readers to the magical kingdom of Ilya, where only the elites – those who possess extraordinary powers bequeathed by a mysterious phenomenon known as the Plague – rule supreme. Meanwhile, those deemed Ordinary are banished, forced to live on the fringes of a society that reveres power above all else.

The narrative follows Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary cunningly masquerading as one of these elites. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she inadvertently saves the life of Kai Azer, one of Ilya's own princes. This heroic act propels her into the heart of the Purging Trials, a series of deadly competitions designed to reveal and honour the capabilities of the elite. The trials demand not only strength and wit but the veracity of her feigned powers.

As Paedyn navigates this perilous realm, she grapples with the growing, unavoidable connection to Prince Kai. But with every glance and every whisper, the risk escalates – should he discern her true identity, the repercussions would be catastrophic, for Kai may himself be the most perilous element of all.

Described as a blend of the atmospheres found in Fourth Wing and The Hunger Games, this novel presents a fantasy romance underscored by palpable tension and intrigue. The romance unfurls with a deliciously slow burn, setting the stage for thrilling drama and compelling character dynamics.

This is the first book in a captivating romantasy trilogy that has captured the imagination of readers worldwide. With its masterful storytelling and enthralling plot twists, Powerless is a novel not to be missed. Allow yourself to be swept away in its enchanting narrative.
