Lauren Roberts’ Powerless trilogy is coming to a close.
Fearless, the final installment in the young adult romantasy series, is slated to publish April 8, 2025. PEOPLE can exclusively announce the third and final book and reveal the cover, which is reminiscent of Fearless‘ predecessors Powerless and Reckless. The trilogy tells the story of a powerful prince and an ordinary girl’s forbidden romance.
According to a synopsis from publisher Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, Fearless follows Paedyn Gray and Kai Azer as they return to the Kingdom of Ilya. “Paedyn has a life-altering choice to make. Whatever she decides will determine her fate — and the fate of those around her — forever. In the ultimate battle of love and loyalty, who wins?”

Roberts’ book series began as a self-published project. She released the first Powerless book in November 2023 when she was just 21 years old. Since then, her young adult romantasy novels have become a viral phenomenon. A television adaptation of the Powerless series is also in the works, Variety reported in September.
“Powerless began as a passion project, a mosaic of my 18-year-old self that I am beyond honored to share with so many readers,” the New York Times bestselling author exclusively tells PEOPLE.
“Over the years, I have grown with these characters and found my voice as a writer, allowing me to give this series the send-off it deserves. I am beyond excited for readers to dive into the vastness of Fearless.”

“This grand finale feels darker, layered in a way that will satisfy those who have also grown with these books. My hope is to capture that universal feeling of nostalgia — a high-stakes, twisty fantasy novel (with lots of tension, of course) that has your mouth hanging open throughout,” she adds. “Fearless, though a bittersweet conclusion to this story, will certainly keep you on your toes. April cannot come soon enough!”
