Reckless (The Powerless Trilogy)

Paedyn and Kai wrestle with duty and desire in the pulse-pounding second book of this epic romantic fantasy trilogy—where sizzling tension collides with shocking betrayals.

The Kingdom of Ilya is on the brink of chaos…

After surviving the brutal Purging Trials, Paedyn Gray—a once-Ordinary—has assassinated the King and ignited a full-scale Resistance. But instead of finding safety, she’s now fleeing from the one person she never wanted to lose.

Kai Azer, now Ilya’s Enforcer, is bound by loyalty to his brother, the new King. His mission is clear: track down Paedyn and bring her to justice, no matter the cost.

As the chase leads them across the deadly Scorches and into the treacherous streets of Dor—a city where Elites hold no power—their roles begin to blur. In a place where survival demands deception, the line between hunter and hunted fades, and the war between duty and desire could prove fatal.
