Plot Summary: Powerless by Lauren Roberts
In the kingdom of Ilya, power defines everything—who rules, who thrives, and who survives. The Elites, gifted extraordinary abilities by the Plague, reign supreme, while those born Ordinary are cast out, deemed unworthy of the society they built.
Paedyn Gray is no stranger to Ilya’s unforgiving streets. Orphaned and alone, she’s learned to survive by her wits, posing as an Elite while stealing just enough to get by. Every day is a game of life or death, a delicate balance of blending in and staying invisible.
But when a single impulsive decision pulls her into the very heart of Ilya’s ruthless society, Paedyn must navigate a deadly world of privilege, power, and secrets. Forced to compete alongside the kingdom’s strongest and most gifted, she risks exposing the truth about herself—something that could cost her everything.
In a land where being Ordinary is a death sentence, Paedyn’s greatest weapon isn’t power—it’s the ability to stay one step ahead.
Powerless is a story of resilience, deception, and finding strength where none should exist.
