Lauren Roberts, the bestselling author behind the Powerless series, is set to tour Australia this June in celebration of the release of her third and final book, Fearless.
The 23-year-old romantasy writer has quickly risen to prominence with her popular trilogy, which includes Powerless (2023), Reckless (2024), and Fearless. Her books have gained international acclaim, with more than 5.5 million copies sold globally, across print, eBooks, and audiobooks. The series has topped both The New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists.
Roberts, who has built a loyal fanbase through her online presence, has accumulated over 60 million views on TikTok. Her vibrant online community has played a crucial role in helping bring her unique romantasy world to life.
In Australia, Roberts’ books have sold 273,000 copies, with Powerless breaking records as the most pre-ordered young adult novel in Simon & Schuster’s history. The series is also poised to be adapted into a television series. Set in a dystopian universe, Powerless follows the story of Paedyn, an ordinary young woman posing as an elite in the kingdom of Ilya.
During her tour, Roberts will make appearances at several key events, including Sydney’s Supanova on June 21-22, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) on June 23, Brisbane’s Town Hall on June 24, Melbourne Town Hall on June 25, and Perth’s Supanova on June 28-29.
The author’s growing popularity and success in the romantasy genre demonstrate her significant impact on the global literary landscape, with Fearless set to cap off her bestselling trilogy.
