Free Audio Book : Powerless, By Lauren Roberts

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.

In the realm of Ilya, it is the extraordinary who reign—those endowed with remarkable abilities, the Elites, blessed with gifts from the Plague that ravaged the land. While the Plague was a curse to many, for the Elites, it was a crucible that granted them their powers. Those who emerged as Ordinaries, devoid of such gifts, were decreed outcasts by the king's mandate, their mere existence a crime. This harsh reality makes Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary by birth, a criminal by the kingdom's standards and a rogue by necessity.

Navigating the treacherous underbelly of the city, Paedyn has honed her skills of observation, a legacy from her father's teachings. Masquerading as a Psychic, she weaves through the fabric of Elite society, a dangerous game of pretense to ensure her survival. But survival is a precarious thing, and her facade is constantly at risk.

Her life takes an unexpected turn when she inadvertently rescues a prince of Ilya, catapulting her into the midst of the Purging Trials—a brutal display of the Elites' prowess, and everything Paedyn is not. As she faces the deadly challenges of the Trials and the lethal competitors within, the greatest danger may come from the burgeoning feelings for a prince who must never learn her true identity—that she is the epitome of the Ordinary.
