Powerful by Lauren Roberts is a gripping, high-stakes young adult fantasy novella set within the internationally bestselling The Powerless Trilogy universe, offering a thrilling, action-packed companion story that expands the brutal kingdom of Ilya.
Told through a fiercely compelling perspective, the narrative follows Adena, a witty, resourceful, and street-smart Ordinary who has spent her entire life hiding her lack of magical abilities to survive a ruthless totalitarian regime that exterminates the powerless. While she is best known to readers as Paedyn Gray’s fiercely loyal best friend, this standalone story places Adena directly in the spotlight as she navigates her own dangerous quest for survival on the elite, cutthroat streets of Loot. Her quiet efforts to remain invisible are completely shattered when she crosses paths with Maksim, a lethal, enigmatic, and duty-bound Elitist who harbors dangerous secrets of his own and possesses powers that make him an instant threat. Forced into a volatile, high-stakes alliance to survive a chaotic chain of events and outsmart the city’s brutal surveillance state, Adena must rely on her sharp mind, hidden talents, and a network of shifting loyalties to protect the people she loves. Moving seamlessly alongside the timeline of Powerless, this poignant and intense novella deepens the series’ intricate magic system, delivers a slow-burn, emotional depth, and reveals the devastating, unspoken costs of fighting a tyrannical empire from the shadows.
