Gild (The Plated Prisoner, 1)
From internationally bestselling author and TikTok phenom Raven Kennedy comes the first book in a stunning fantasy series inspired by the myth of King Midas, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout.
The fae abandoned this world to us. And the ones with power rule.
Gold.
Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold.
Even me.
King Midas rescued me. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. I'm called his precious. His favored. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. To show how powerful he is. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe.
Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.
Suddenly, my trust is broken. My love is challenged. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong.
Because these bars I'm kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I'd never left.

Readers say *Gild* offers a rich world inspired by the King Midas myth and sparks strong curiosity about its characters and plot twists. Many apprecia...
But... wow was a disappointed in this book. I was outwardly cringing and almost DNFd the book. I hated the MMC and was just waiting for him to unveil some elaborate plan that would explain his cringy behavior.
HOWEVER - my bookstagram friends promise that the series gets better (think how ACOTAR shifts after the first book).
So...I may continue the series.
