POWERLESS
Paperback – 1 January 2023
By Lauren Roberts (Author)
In Powerless, Lauren Roberts introduces readers to the Kingdom of Ilya, a realm where survival hinges on possessing extraordinary abilities. The Plague that once ravaged the land has bestowed powers upon the survivors, creating a society divided between the Elites—those with abilities—and the Ordinaries—those without. In this world, lacking a power is not just a disadvantage; it's a crime.
The story follows Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary who has learned to navigate this perilous world by pretending to be a Psychic. Her survival depends on maintaining this facade, but when she's selected for the Purging Trials—a brutal competition designed to eliminate those without powers—Paedyn must rely on her wits, courage, and unexpected alliances to survive.
As she enters the Trials, Paedyn encounters Prince Kai Azer, a member of the Elite who harbors his own secrets. Their paths intertwine in a forbidden romance that defies the rigid societal norms of Ilya. Together, they must confront the dark forces that seek to control their fates and uncover the truth behind the powers that divide their world.
Roberts' debut novel is a gripping blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure, exploring themes of identity, survival, and the cost of power.
