Powerful

Powerful is a companion novella to Lauren Roberts's Powerless trilogy, set during the events of the first book. It steps away from Paedyn and Kai to follow Adena — Paedyn's fiercely loyal best friend from the slums of Loot — while Paedyn is trapped inside the Purging Trials.

Left behind in the dangerous underbelly of Ilya, Adena must survive on her own wits and courage, and the novella fills in what was happening beyond the arena during the trilogy's opening chapter. For readers who fell for the world of Powerless, it deepens the story of friendship, resilience, and the ordinary people caught in a kingdom that has no place for them.

Short and best read alongside or just after Powerless, Powerful rewards fans with a wider view of the series' world and one of its most beloved side characters.
