Bezmocná je první díl knižní série Powerless z pera autorky Lauren Roberts, která se odehrává v království Ilya, kde má Elita zvláštní schopnosti darované Mor. Hlavní hrdinka Paedyn Grayová se skrývá jako vyděděnec a účastní se brutální soutěže Očistných zkoušek. Příběh zahrnuje napětí a romantické motivy mezi Paedyn a princem Kaiem, a postupně odhaluje střety mezi Elitou a Obyčejnými. Autorčina schopnost vykrádat oblíbené YA příběhy může být pro některé čtenáře problematická, ale Bezmocná si získává popularitu díky kombinaci známých prvků young adult fantasy.
