Our view
“Fearful” is a companion to the “Powerless” trilogy, a dark, tender side tale seen through the eyes of Death herself. Set during “Fearless”, it follows Mara back to Ilya to observe King Kitt Azer and the struggle over the crown. Some readers expected little from a fan extra and found it more absorbing than they had hoped. At just over two hundred pages, it is best read after the trilogy.

About the book
Set during the time of Fearless, a mysterious figure arrives in the kingdom of Ilya to witness the fight for the throne and the price it costs those sworn to defend the land in this beautiful and heart-wrenching story in the #1 New York Times bestselling Powerless trilogy.

But when the king makes a life-altering decision, her interest is piqued, and Death is determined to understand Kitt Azer’s mind if he is destined to join her in the Mors. Spending time with the king while observing the castle’s inhabitants reminds Mara that there is more to life than just death. There is love. But even the purest of intentions spur revenge and the pursuit of power. And fate will have its way with all of them—to live, to rule, to love, and most certainly, to die…
