Hello, fellow romantasy readers!

It's The Bean Workshop here!

Are you snuggled up with your favorite blanket, tea in hand, and ready to embark on your next reading journey? If so, you’re in for a treat—Lauren Roberts’ beloved novel Powerless is powering its way from page to screen with an exciting new TV adaptation! 

A Glimpse into the World of Powerless

Set in the lavish kingdom of Ilya, Powerless follows Paedyn Gray, an Ordinary born into a society where only those with magical abilities—the Elites—are welcome. Banishment is the penalty for lacking powers, so Paedyn masquerades as a psychic to blend in among the gifted. When she inadvertently saves a dashing Elite prince, she’s thrust into the high-stakes Purging Trials, where her secret could be her undoing—and where sparks inevitably fly. This edge-of-your-seat romantasy tale explores identity, forbidden love, and the cost of power. 

Why Powerless Continues to Captivate

Since its release in January 2023, Powerless has enchanted over a million readers in its first nine months, soaring to New York Times Bestseller status and earning rave reviews across bookish communities. 

Audiences praise Roberts’ lush world-building and swoon-worthy romance, making the Powerless book adaptation one of the most anticipated TV projects on the horizon.
