About this listen

A New York Times bestseller!

This edition includes bonus content, and a teaser to book two in this heart-pounding series!

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, this young adult fantasy follows the forbidden romance between a powerful prince and an ordinary girl as they try to survive their kingdom’s grueling laws pitting them against each other.

She is the very thing he’s spent his whole life hunting.

He is the very thing she’s spent her whole life pretending to be.

Only the extraordinary belong in the kingdom of Ilya—the exceptional, the empowered, the Elites. The powers these Elites have possessed for decades were graciously gifted to them by the Plague, though not all were fortunate enough to both survive the sickness and reap the reward. Those born Ordinary are just that—ordinary. And when the king decreed that all Ordinaries be banished to preserve his Elite society, lacking an ability suddenly became a crime—making Paedyn Gray a felon by fate and a thief by necessity.

Surviving in the slums as an Ordinary is no simple task, and Paedyn knows this better than most. Having been trained by her father to be keenly observant since she was a child, Paedyn poses as a Psychic in the crowded city, blending in with the Elites as best she can to stay alive and out of trouble…easier said than done.

When Paeydn unsuspectingly saves one of Ilya’s princes, she finds herself thrown into the Purging Trials. The brutal competition exists to showcase the Elites’ powers—the very thing Paedyn lacks. If the Trials and the opponents within them don’t kill her, the prince she’s fighting feelings for certainly will if he discovers what she is…completely Ordinary.

I loved it and had so much fun.

Yes, it is a mixture of lots of well known tropes/ideas to make a beautifully delicious book desert.

Kai and Paedyn and their slow burn tension. 🤌

Epitome of a comfort read!

Powerless is an action packed, edge-of-your-seat thrill. Definitely a must read for fans of Sara J Maas, Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent. The stakes are high and the tension between the MC couple is deliciously palpable! I liked the smooth transition between past and present events and the cohesion between plot line as well as character and world building made this first instalment of the trilogy a great first impression! I ABSOLUTELY cannot wait to read the next one this summer!!!

I am distraught, relieved and angry all at the same time. Reckless cannot come soon enough. Not spicy but it does not need it! I thought the voice actors were also great!

I care so much about the main characters

Many sentences were either not read in their entirety or parts were skipped over. (I was reading along with the audio). Unless they were reading a different version then the copy I own. I don’t know, just seemed off to me. But I LOVED this book.

I cannot wait for the next book. The banter was AMAZING!!!! Between the characters and the story was a better version of hunger games with a stronger FMC and a fun magic system. I need more please!
