Set during the time of the New York Times bestseller Powerless, fan favorite Adena gets a story all her own as she attempts to survive on the streets of Loot…and falls for a mysterious—and dangerous—Elite.
Adena and Paedyn have always been inseparable. Fate brought them together when they were young, but friendship ensured they would always protect each other and the home they built in the slums of Loot. But now Paedyn—an Ordinary—has been selected for the Purging Trials, which means almost certain death.
Now alone in Loot, Adena must fend for herself. After attempting to steal, she’s rescued by a mysterious man from the market. Mak’s shadowy past and secretive power set him apart from the other low-level Elites of Loot. And as the pair team up to see their loved ones before the Trials, the quest tests their loyalty, their love, and their lives.

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.
