Literary Escapism and Romantasy the new lit rock’n’roll
FEARLESS – is the epic conclusion and final book in the Powerless trilogy written by the viral phenomenon that is LAUREN ROBERTS – and her #1 global best-selling YA Romantasy novels.
Millions of fans across the globe are currently in torment waiting to find out what becomes of Paedyn and Kai’s forbidden romance in FEARLESS. Publishers Simon & Schuster is taking no chances of a book leak on socials, it is under WORLDWIDE EMBARGO until the publishing date: Tuesday 8 April 2025!
The Powerless trilogy’s first two books have already made history as the best-selling Romantasy YA book series. LAUREN ROBERTS is a TikTok sensation who tries out her writing ideas on her massive fan base, with over 60 million views and engagements. Simon and Schuster’s team found LAUREN on TikTok = a life changing three book deal and in lightning speed LAUREN was a best-selling author at 21: Powerless (2023), Reckless (2024) and now FEARLESS (2025), the final book in the trilogy! LAUREN‘s epic worldbuilding, dual POV narrative and sizzling banter made the series the must read Romantasy (a blended genre of fantasy and romantic fiction with over 764.6 million views on TikTok) and a new age of YA Literature changed the world of publishing forever – BookTok! LAUREN ROBERTS‘ decadent romantasy Reckless has just been nominated for a Nibbies Book of the Year 2025 and the winners will be announced at the glitzy awards in May.
FEARLESS: Betrothed – Betrayed – Destined for each other? Paedyn Gray and the powerful prince Kai Azer return to the Kingdom of Ilya. The not so ordinary girl, Paedyn is now known as the Silver Saviour and must make a life changing decision – to seal her fate and those around her forever. As the ultimate battle of love and loyalty is fought – who will win?
LAUREN, still only 23, has literally grown up with the thrilling characters in her books; having received her mum’s blessing at just 18 to put college on hold for a year, so she could write the passion project book that was bubbling up inside her: Powerless. With the help of her TikTok fans the fantastical, sweeping immersive world of Ilya and its daring and passionate inhabitants came to life. The unusually beautiful name Paedyn was suggested by a fan in a TikTok Live. Her name was Paedyn, and she commented that books never have a hero called Paedyn in them. LAUREN and the real Paedyn are still close friends!
Growing and finding her voice as a writer has allowed LAUREN to give this series of books the send-off it deserves. LAUREN’s FEARLESS will feel darker and more layered, as she wanted to give fans a feeling of universal nostalgia, as they too have grown with her and the Powerless trilogy.
LAUREN says “I am beyond excited for readers to dive into the vastness of FEARLESS. It is a high-stakes, twisty fantasy novel (with lots of tension, of course) that has your mouth hanging open throughout. A bittersweet conclusion to this story, FEARLESS will certainly keep you on your toes.”
LAUREN ROBERTS will be in the UK at the end of April early May for four major city tour dates.
