Powerless

Description

Eighteen-year-old Paedyn Gray has no supernatural ability in Ilya, a kingdom where empowered Elites rule and powerless Ordinaries face banishment or death. To survive in the slums, she passes as a Psychic, relying on observation and deception to make others believe she can read minds. Her precarious disguise draws dangerous attention after she saves Kai Azer, an Elite prince and powerful Wielder. Paedyn is then forced into the annual Purging Trials, a deadly contest designed for nine gifted competitors. Every challenge threatens not only her life but exposure of the identity the regime has criminalized. Told through the tension between Paedyn and Kai, the romantic fantasy combines courtly attraction, social persecution, and competitive survival.
