Glint

Ten years confined within King Midas's golden castle as his 'caged bird' has been Auren's reality. However, a seismic shift has uprooted her gilded prison, casting her into the brutal world outside. Now, a captive of the Fourth Kingdom's army, Auren finds herself an unwilling pawn in a looming war, a bargaining chip that could either quell the conflict or ignite a devastating conflagration. Amidst her fear and uncertainty, Commander Rip emerges—a figure notorious for his battlefield ferocity and chilling reputation. Yet, Auren knows the deeper truth: Rip is Fae, one of the ancient betrayers responsible for Orea's near-destruction. He possesses raw power, glinting spikes, and eyes that hold her captive in an entirely new way. Though she's escaped one cage, Auren is far from free, caught in a dangerous game of kings and armies. This captivating second installment of The Plated Prisoner series delves deeper into a world of magic, romance, and intricate political machinations, all inspired by the myth of King Midas, as Auren struggles to outmaneuver the forces that seek to control her fate.
