Complete series collection
The Powerless Trilogy by Lauren Roberts
Read Lauren Roberts's Powerless books in order, including Powerless, Reckless, Fearless, Powerful, and Fearful, with both novellas placed correctly.
Updated August 2026
Lauren Roberts's Powerless trilogy has three main novels: Powerless, Reckless, and Fearless. The complete published collection also includes two companion novellas, Powerful and Fearful, making five books in total.
Powerful takes place during the events of Powerless and follows Adena. Fearful is set during Fearless and brings Mara and Kitt to the foreground. The order below keeps each novella beside the main novel it complements without treating either companion as a fourth main installment.
How to choose: Read Powerless first, then Powerful, Reckless, Fearless, and Fearful. Readers following only Paedyn and Kai's central storyline can read the three numbered novels, but both novellas add character context and are included in the publisher's complete collection.
