The Powerless Trilogy & Prequel by Lauren Roberts (Powerless, Powerful, Reckless and Fearless)

1. Powerless

The game begins when a girl with no power dares to outwit a kingdom built on it.

Paedyn Gray has survived by hiding in plain sight—pretending to be an Elite in a world where power determines worth. When she's thrust into the deadly Purging Trials, where only the strongest survive, she must outsmart powerful enemies and navigate dangerous attraction to Kai Azer, the prince who could either protect or destroy her.

2. Powerful (Prequel Novella)

Before the Trials, before the lies—every villain has a beginning.

This prequel dives into Kai Azer’s past, revealing the dark truths and heavy burdens that shaped the prince before he crossed paths with Paedyn. It’s a glimpse into the politics, betrayal, and pain that forged a future ruler—and the cracks that could one day break him.

3. Reckless

Survival was just the beginning—now the war for truth begins.

After the shocking events of the Trials, Paedyn and Kai find themselves on opposite sides of a brewing rebellion. Loyalties are tested, secrets unravel, and love becomes a weapon in a kingdom where trust is more dangerous than betrayal. Their choices will set the path for war—or peace.

4. Fearless

The end has come—and only the fearless will rise.

Back in Ilya, Paedyn is no longer hiding. With rebellion on the brink and the kingdom’s future at stake, she and Kai must fight not just for freedom, but for each other. Love, vengeance, and power collide in a heart-stopping finale where every decision could cost everything.
