Synopsis: 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. 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 Paedyn 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.

About Powerless

Powerless explores the gripping tale of Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary girl navigating life in a kingdom that elevates the powerful while casting out those deemed inferior. In a society where extraordinary abilities dictate worth, Paedyn’s existence as a mere mortal puts her at constant risk, especially after the king’s harsh decree against the Ordinaries. As she masquerades as a Psychic to survive, Paedyn inadvertently crosses paths with a prince, thrusting her into a dangerous competition known as the Purging Trials. Amid fierce opponents and overwhelming odds, the challenge intensifies, not only testing her mettle but also complicating her burgeoning feelings for the prince. The story delves into themes of survival, identity, and the quest for belonging amidst societal divides.
