Powerless by Lauren Roberts is a gripping fantasy romance where survival depends on deception and falling in love could be fatal.

In the kingdom of Ilya, only the powerful are permitted to exist. Elites, gifted with abilities by the Plague, rule without mercy, while those born Ordinary are hunted, banished, and erased. Paedyn Gray survives by pretending to be something she is not, using sharp instincts and careful lies to blend in among the very people who would kill her for the truth.

Living as a thief in the slums has taught Paedyn how to stay invisible, until one reckless act changes everything. After saving one of Ilya’s princes, she is thrown into the Purging Trials, a brutal competition designed to showcase Elite power. Power she does not have.

Surrounded by lethal opponents and impossible odds, Paedyn must rely on her wits to survive. But the greatest danger may be the prince she is drawn to, the one person who could destroy her if he learns what she truly is.

Fast-paced, tense, and addictive, Powerless is perfect for readers who love forbidden romance, deadly trials, and fantasy worlds where hiding the truth is the only way to stay alive.
