Publisher's summary

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.

From bestselling author Raven Kennedy comes the first book in the BookTok hit Plated Prisoner series, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout. The myth of King Midas is reimagined in this compelling adult fantasy series that is as addictive as it is unexpected. With romance, intrigue, and danger, the gilded world of Orea will grip you from the very first word. Intended for mature listeners.

Newly recorded in duet-style narration by Lilly Drake and Anthony Palmini.

slow moving and purposefully incomplete.

most series books have a full and complete story that can be newly continued like the Bridgerton series. this book, which really is chapter one, plots on purpose to force the purchase of the second chapter.

Pulled me out of my reading slump!

I really liked this story. It’s different from the fantasy I usually go for (ACOTAR, ToG, FBAA,etc.) The main character keeps you interested and I love the slow burn of it all. A little slow in the beginning but it picks up

I loved the new duet narration!

Gild is the perfect set-up for a slow burn epic romantasy. The Plated Prisoner series is my favorite of all time for it's character development, themes, and witty banter. Anthony and Lilly bring the story to life. I can't wait for the rest!

audio

a great book! i enjoyed the story & im excited to listen to the next one! while i love the woman who read it i can’t help but think she would be perfect for reading twilight. most of her sentences end in almost a question which is fine for the character considering her timidness but all i could think of is omg bella how the hell have you been loca lol

The performance and the way they had names play males and females play female voices. So much better that way

The performance was excellence. The story was engaging and easy to follow. The evolution and secrets coming out was well timed and interesting.

Obnoxious and dull

This story was painful to listen to, actress was good but the story itself was pointless
