Fearful

A Powerless Story

By: Lauren Roberts

Narrated by: Lauren Roberts, Jared Zeus, Chase Brown

Set during the time of Fearless, a mysterious figure arrives in the kingdom of Ilya to witness the fight for the throne and the price it costs those sworn to defend the land in this beautiful and heart-wrenching story in the #1 New York Times bestselling Powerless trilogy.

Love too grand, it kills.

Mara never intended to set foot in Ilya again. But when the king makes a life-altering decision, her interest is piqued, and Death is determined to understand Kitt Azer’s mind if he is destined to join her in the Mors.

Spending time with the king while observing the castle’s inhabitants reminds Mara that there is more to life than just death. There is love. But even the purest of intentions spur revenge and the pursuit of power. And fate will have its way with all of them—to live, to rule, to love, and most certainly, to die…

Short and Sweet

This was the best book in the entire series with the most likable characters. It was a bite sized blend of a few stories that I much enjoyed.

The beautiful sad story

I can’t wait for the rest of the story I need to know what happens next

Beautiful Story

I just want to say that this was written so beautifully. Lauren Roberts never disappoints when telling her tales about this world and our wonderful MCs and even the side characters as well. There is always so much depth and unraveling when learning about the experiences of the lives in this world. So many lives are intertwined but also so unique and it’s simply so beautiful. I will say this was not quite the story I expected to read regarding Kitt but it was amazing. Romantic and tragic — in typical Lauren Roberts’ fashion. I also loved how the ending leaves possibility for more to come. If you loved the trilogy, I definitely recommence giving this a read!

What a Beautiful representation of death

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I especially appreciated the pov of death and how it is not her fault life is so cruel, I can’t wait for the next.

farewell Powerless Trilogy

This is a book I didn’t know I needed. 🖤
Lauren Roberts cuts us open one more time with Kirt’s final days. As we see his demise through the eyes of Mara; the reaper. She awaits for him. Watching carefully through the castle. This story was a beautiful sword laced with venom waiting to be plunged into the hearts of all.
The bonus chapter 🥹

Fearful

LAUREN WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO MY BABY KITT LET HIM HAVE HIS HAPPY ENDING 😭😭

Nice Novella

A nice conclusion to the story seeing missing aspects much like the other novella in the series.

Such a heartbreaking ending

I was not expecting that ending. It really gave me some better perspective on Kitt and his mentality through the series. It honestly made me feel so bad for him and I wish he would have got a better ending and I wish we could have learned more about Mara.

good listen

I loved the story and hope that things hopefully get better for kitt if there's any future story's.
