This sparkling edition includes a special case stamping, 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.
The series

Read full series description
The trilogy begins with Powerless, where Paedyn, an ordinary girl in a kingdom ruled by magical elite, discovers that her lack of power might not be the curse she thought it was. As she’s drawn into a world of political intrigue and dark forces, Paedyn must learn to wield the one thing that no magic can conquer: her own resilience. Alongside Kai Azer, a prince with secrets of his own, Paedyn finds herself questioning everything she once knew about power, loyalty, and love.
Each book in the series deepens the stakes, as Paedyn’s journey takes her from uncertain rebellion to confronting the full weight of a world on the brink of collapse. As tensions rise, she must confront not just the powers that seek to control her, but the parts of herself she’s tried to bury. The world Roberts creates is both mesmerizing and haunting, a place where no one can be fully trusted, and even the most innocent choices have far-reaching consequences.
The Powerless Trilogy isn’t just about battles fought with magic—it’s about the quiet, personal wars waged within the heart. The characters, especially Paedyn, grow in ways that will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider, trying to find their place in a world that demands conformity. The atmospheric writing is a constant pull, drawing readers deeper into a world where danger lurks in every shadow, and every decision could be their last.
This is a trilogy where the stakes are high, the magic is real, and the power is something that can’t always be seen. Paedyn’s fight isn’t just for survival—it’s for the future of everything she holds dear. With its unforgettable characters, heart-pounding twists, and intricate world-building, The Powerless Trilogy is an immersive journey into a world that will leave you questioning what true power really means.
