If Fourth Wing and The Hunger Games had a lovechild, it would be Powerless by Lauren Roberts.
Welcome to the kingdom of Ilya, where only the extraordinary survive. Here, the Elites—those gifted with deadly powers by the Plague—rule supreme. The Ordinary are cast aside, exiled from society.
But Paedyn Gray is neither Elite nor accepted. She’s Ordinary, living a lie in the heart of power, hiding in plain sight. When she saves Prince Kai Azer—one of Ilya’s most powerful Elites—her secret life crumbles, and she’s thrown into the Purging Trials: a brutal competition where only the strongest survive… or the best pretenders.
With deadly opponents, impossible challenges, and a prince growing dangerously close, Paedyn must do the impossible—win the Trials without being exposed. Because if Kai discovers the truth, it won't just be her life at stake—it'll be her heart.
Prepare for an addictive mix of danger, passion, and slow-burn romance in the dagger-to-the-throat romantasy that’s taken the world by storm.
Includes an exclusive sneak peek of Book Two, Reckless—coming July 2024 and available for pre-order now!
Only the extraordinary thrive in the kingdom of Ilya—the gifted, the powerful, the Elites. Born with abilities granted by the Plague, Elites are revered, while the Ordinary are outcast, exiled, and forgotten.
Paedyn Gray knows this harsh truth better than anyone. She's Ordinary, living a dangerous lie by pretending to be Elite. But when she impulsively saves Prince Kai Azer—one of Ilya’s most powerful and feared Elites—her secret life unravels.
Now forced into the deadly Purging Trials, Paedyn must compete alongside true Elites, faking powers she doesn’t have. As she battles ruthless opponents and the ever-watchful eyes of the kingdom, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: her growing feelings for the very prince who could destroy her if he learns what she really is.
If the Trials don’t kill her first… falling for Kai just might.
