OVER A MILLION COPIES SOLD! THE INSTANT NO. 1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING PHENOMENON.

‘Nothing short of epic’ Rosie Talbot, bestselling author of
Sixteen Souls
‘A thrilling fantasy with the most delicious slow-burn romance’ M.A. Kuzniar, bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood
‘[A] titillating debut’ Publishers Weekly

Fourth Wing meets The Hunger Games in this sizzling fantasy romance not to be missed.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya . . . The exceptional. The Elites. The Elites have possessed powers for decades, gifted to them by the Plague, while those born Ordinary are just that, banished from the kingdom and shunned from society.

No one knows this better than Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary posing as an Elite. When she unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, Kai Azer, she’s thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition to showcase her ‘Elite’ powers.

If the Trials and the opponents don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for will if he discovers what Paedyn really is . . . completely Ordinary.

Be swept away by the first in the smash hit, dagger-to-the-throat romantasy trilogy that's taken the world by storm.

Powerless is a fantasy with amazing world building and a captivating plot but at its heart Powerless is really a the story of a forbidden and imposible romance. Love, hate, politics, betrayal. Powerless has something for everybody.
Safe to say that through all the twists and turns I wasn’t disappointed once. Pick this book up and believe me, you won’t regret it.

Some of the best fantasy I’ve read in a long time.

I seriously can’t pinpoint on one emotion towards this book I liked kai’s character and kitt’s but I can’t find it in me to overlook their cruelty towards ordinary human and specially towards the woman they both loved. Even before finishing the first book I bought the second, so let us see where it goes. The narrators didn’t put enough effort into their performances.

I don’t know what to feel

What A Start. Powerless had me in a chokehold from chapter one. Paedyn is the underdog we didn’t know we needed—clever, cunning, and absolutely impossible not to root for. And then there’s Kai. Dark, dangerous, and drowning in complexity. The tension between them? Literal sparks.

This world is brutal, the system unforgiving, and Lauren Roberts doesn’t pull punches. But amid the blood and betrayal, there’s this crackling slow-burn romance that unravels you. I gasped, I clutched my metaphorical pearls, I became feral.

A fierce, addictive opening. If you’re not obsessed by the end, were you even paying attention?

I thought it would hurt less hearing than reading. but it was the opposite. I knew the ending before I started this book. nope. pain is still pain.

Listening to a book might hurt more than reading.

The chapter that struck me the most was 48, how the author managed to put such raw emotion not only in that bit of the book but in almost all of it. The relationships between the characters are delightful and the plot although cliche is fun to read and witness. The fanservice is a bit strong but very well done lol. My only complaint is the flatness of certain characters, such as background villains with little depth or complexity. Overall it is a fun read that can make you laugh, cry, sigh and hold your breath in anticipation, I hope the next books draw a fitting finish to this story.

Good :)
