The Powerless Trilogy #1.5 Powerful

Set against the gritty backdrop of the New York Times bestselling Powerless series, this thrilling new tale follows fan-favorite Adena as she navigates the perilous streets of Loot and confronts the complexities of survival, loyalty, and love.

As they journey through the treacherous underbelly of Loot, Adena and Mak face challenges that test their loyalty to each other, challenge their budding love, and put their lives on the line.

In this gripping story of survival and heartache, Adena must learn to trust the one person she never expected—and confront the truth about what she’s willing to sacrifice to protect those she loves.
