Reckless

One of the two protagonists in the Powerless series, Paedyn Gray narrates some chapters, alternating with Kai and Kitt. She lives in the kingdom of Ilya, where Elites with supernatural abilities rule over powerless Ordinaries. At the end of Powerless, she killed the king of Ilya in self-defense and is now attempting to flee the country and find refuge in Dor. After the events of that book, Paedyn’s lack of abilities was discovered and made her a target.

Paedyn is very beautiful. She has blue eyes and long, silver-colored hair, which she cuts short later in the novel. She had an ambiguous friendship with Kitt, who is now intent on bringing her to justice for his father’s murder. In addition, Paedyn struggles to resist her attraction to Kai, at times giving in to her impulses and kissing him before remembering that he’s duty-bound to kill her. However, Kai and Paedyn’s relationship grows stronger, and they eventually confess their love for each other. At the end, Kai takes Paedyn back to Ilya to help her get justice for her father and her kingdom. However, in the last chapter, Kitt declares that Paedyn is to be his wife.

Paedyn is a strong, skilled, and brash character.
