The conclusion to the New York Times bestseller, Powerless
ELEVATOR PITCH: Red Queen meets the Hunger Games
RUNAWAY HIT! Since Powerless debuted in the US at #3 on the New York Times list in November (hitting #1 numerous times), we have netted approximately 390,000, and have already needed to reprint the hardcover numerous times. Accounts have been over-the-moon with the success of Powerless and are very enthusiastic for it's sequel--Reckless coming out in July! We have massive estimates for the sequel with a number of exclusive editions in the works. And we have no doubt that fans will be eager to devour the conclusion to this spectacular series!
A SELF-PUBLISHED GEM: Since Powerless self-published in January 2023, it has sold 20,000 copies, received over 6k ratings on Goodreads with a 4.66 average star rating, over 700 ratings on Amazon with a 4.6 average star rating and incredible reader reviews! The sequel and this third book have never been published before, unlike Powerless. With both Powerless and Reckless ending on a HUGE cliffhanger, the thousands of fans of this series will be hungry to find out what happens to our main couple in this final book!
SOCIAL MEDIA STAR: The author is a US BookTokker based in Michigan with 337k followers and 16 million likes! A strong platform ready to promote this book!
SUCCESS STORIES: As proven with our very own Spanish Love Deception, and Icebreaker, acquiring originally self-published books and revamping them through our internal resources to put back out into market is a strategy that works. The self-published route can only reach a specific number of readers out there, but with our support systems, account connections, and marketing capabilities, we have the ability to get this in the hands of a large number of readers hungry for these kind of books!
ACCESSIBLE FANTASY: With fantasy continuing to trend in YA, this checks all the boxes when it comes to what is specifically working in the genre. It has compelling world-building, an engaging voice, an enticing romance, edge-of-your seat suspense, and plenty of emotionally gutting moments. The writing is easy to engage with and the tension so strong that even if readers don't usually pick up fantasy, they'll want to read this books!
SIZZLING ROMANCE: The author is able to carefully craft a dynamic relationship that is both a forbidden romance, and quite literally, an enemies-to-lovers romance. And in this final book, we introduce an intense love triangle that intensifies when Kai's brother, and the King, acts on his strong feelings for Pae. Politics and romance make for an abundance of steamy tension. Though a fantasy, this book like the two before it, really is a romance at its core!
CAPTIVATING CHARACTERS: The narrative is told in alternating POV between our leads, Kai and Paedyn. But it will also include a heavier dose of Kitt who must navigate his feelings for Pae, his relationshp with his brother, Kai, and how to rule a kingdom plagued with problems. The reader isn't sure who Pae's heart will lean more towards as challenges and difficulties aim to tear Pae and Kai apart, which may thrust Pae into Kitt's arms.
POWERLESS PUB SCHEDULE: This is a trilogy with Powerless pubbing Fall 23, Reckless in SU 24, and Book 3 (title confidential) in Spring 25. We will also be publishing two novellas, with the first novella in SP 24, and the second novella's on-sale date TBD.
