Resumen del Editor

A New York Times bestseller!

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.

Epitome of a comfort read!

I loved it and had so much fun.

Yes, it is a mixture of lots of well known tropes/ideas to make a beautifully delicious book desert.

Kai and Paedyn and their slow burn tension. 🤌

absolutely wonderful

the voice actors were perfect for this book, smooth and filled with emotion. the story is amazing and now one of my favorite books

A Less-Than-Supernatural Heroin

Powerless is an action packed, edge-of-your-seat thrill. Definitely a must read for fans of Sara J Maas, Rebecca Yarros and Carissa Broadbent. The stakes are high and the tension between the MC couple is deliciously palpable! I liked the smooth transition between past and present events and the cohesion between plot line as well as character and world building made this first instalment of the trilogy a great first impression! I ABSOLUTELY cannot wait to read the next one this summer!!!

I care so much about the main characters

I am distraught, relieved and angry all at the same time. Reckless cannot come soon enough. Not spicy but it does not need it! I thought the voice actors were also great!

Hate to have to wait for the second!

This was such a great story! Loved the characters, the plot, the banter. There wasn’t one moment of the book that bored me. I cannot wait to see what happens next!

Need the second book!!

I really liked this book, just enough tension to keep you reading! I would highly recommend this.

Good plot

Enjoyed the plot and the story kept moving. I found the characters believable and interesting.

Best book I’ve listened to in a LONG time!

The narrators are great! Dont let the first time we hear the male narrator fool you; he has one chapter where he sounds almost Irish or Scottish or something? But that goes away almost immediately and never comes back.

One thing I want to say is this book does not have a happy ending, and since the second audiobook isn’t out yet it’s a very sad time for me, I try to avoid these situations but oh well! Hopefully that helps someone else out.

Listen to it!!

On the edge of my seat!

Loved it all, felt like I was there! I can’t wait for her next book!

SO GOOD!!!!!

I cannot wait for the next book. The banter was AMAZING!!!! Between the characters and the story was a better version of hunger games with a stronger FMC and a fun magic system. I need more please!
