Welcome to the World of
The Powerless Gods
About the Series
The Powerless Gods is a dark epic fantasy saga where memory isn’t lost—it’s stolen, twisted, and withheld for a reason.
Humans don’t belong in this world.
Not anymore.
The surface is ruled by shapeshifters and elves. The seas belong to vast merfolk empires. Below the ground lie crumbling dwarven kingdoms and undead necromantic orders. No one remembers humans. No one wants them back.
And yet—
they begin to appear.
Naked. Alone. Afraid. Memoryless.
Waking up in forests, caves, oceans, ruins. They don’t know their names. They don’t know their purpose.
But something in the world recognizes them.
And it doesn’t react kindly.
Who They Are
-
Aygor wakes in the woods with nothing. No past. No clothes. No allies. He’s captured by dwarves, dragged into their tunnels, and left to rot. But deep underground, in ruined corridors and buried laboratories, something ancient watches him. He should be broken—but the world won’t let him die.
-
Liya is a mermaid selected for royal service. The ritual requires erasure of memory—but her mind is already blank. No one knows where she came from, only that she was found in a forgotten cave. When she learns the truth behind her origins, she’s imprisoned along with other mermaids tied to an ancient bloodline. They are sentenced to die by dehydration—slowly, painfully, publicly.
-
Ina lives among elves, pretending to be one of them. She hides her human ears. She hides everything. But when necromancers attack her village, calling her out, she runs—chasing shadows of a family that may never have been hers. In the dwarf tunnels, she discovers a power she doesn’t understand: her soul can separate from her body, reach into the world, change things. She’s not ready for what she is. But the world is already reacting.
-
Xam grows up as a wolf pup in a shapeshifter clan. He believes he’s one of them—until he dies. And wakes up in a new body. Then another. He doesn’t transform. He possesses. He doesn’t know where he came from, but his power is tied to something no shapeshifter understands. Even among elves, among nobles, among the highborn—he is wrong. And dangerous.
The World Around Them
This world wasn’t built for humans anymore.
They are hunted, enslaved, manipulated, imprisoned.
And yet, they endure.
Each of them is pulled into conflicts larger than themselves:
-
Necromancers searching for remnants of human soul-magic.
-
Elves preparing for civil war.
-
Dwarves losing their world beneath the surface.
-
Goblins expanding into lands not theirs.
-
Merfolk empires purging bloodlines.
-
Shapeshifters splintering under the weight of secrets.
As they try to survive, the world shifts around them.
Factions rise and fall. Powers awaken. Old truths resurface.
And the humans begin to remember—not who they were, but what they might still become.
What to Expect
The Powerless Gods is not a single hero’s journey.
It’s the collision of four deeply personal, brutally unique stories—told across kingdoms, species, and forgotten timelines.
You’ll find:
-
Soul possession instead of transformation.
-
Memory as a weapon—and as a curse.
-
Ruins that speak, magic that costs, and bodies that don’t stay yours.
-
Armies of the dead. Broken empires. Collapsing bloodlines.
-
Identity torn apart and slowly, painfully reclaimed.
This is not about chosen ones.
This is about stolen lives.
And what happens when the world tries to erase you—and fails.
The Powerless Gods is an epic fantasy series for readers who crave layered worldbuilding, body horror, identity conflict, and stories that spiral toward something vast, dangerous, and unforgettable.
And if you look closely—
you may start to wonder if the world ever belonged to anyone.
If demons and gods were ever so different.
If the line between creation and creator was drawn by those in power—
or by those who forgot they were gods themselves.
