THE TIKTOK FANTASY SENSATION THAT'S SOLD OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF SARAH J. MAAS AND JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT


'It's the arrogance of men to think so little of women. And it'll be their downfall too'

Locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, I have never known freedom.

No one can get in or out. Apart from him.

King Midas, who rescued me from the streets. Who gave me food, shelter, and his heart. Who I promised to love forever.

But when political upheaval sees me sent across kingdoms to a future I no longer understand, everything I thought I knew about King Midas is shattered . . .

The world has only ever heard his story.

Now it's time to hear mine.

Critic Reviews

Praise for The Plated Prisoner Series
Gild is a heart-pounding fantasy romance, and this outstanding book will keep you gripped until the very last word. It’s beautifully written and is a truly riveting story. If you love Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout this book is for you! This series is gripping, enticing and darkly romantic. Don’t miss out on this un-putdownable read!
This series has stolen my heart, my breath, my regard for anything else. I've never been so immersed in a story before-never read characters that have felt so real. I've cried, laughed, screamed, thrown my kindle across the room, picked it up again, swooned . . . These characters, this WORLD . . . it's everything. Raven has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics
Raven writes with a magic that comes to life on the page. Every single word gleams like gold
This is one of those series that started off phenomenal, and only gets better with every subsequent book.

Get ready to be enthralled from the first word, and begging for more by the last. Raven Kennedy crafts an astonishing world that's filled with captivating characters and a story you won't be able to put down

This series is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. It is one of the best New Adult Fantasy books out there.
TEN GILDED STARS! Remarkably original . . .and the prose, people . . . gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous

An emotional rollercoaster

What I've enjoyed so far about this series is how it's a metaphor about real, emotional issues

The opening turned me off immensely but the writing kept me listening. The way Kennedy wrote of how the protagonist was feeling was so different to how I would have felt yet it made sense as I kept listening. It was engaging and even made me like the king.
The end however was a disappointment for me. (Spoiler alert)
I didn’t like having the king’s POV thrown in at the end. I would have fathered it from the start or not at all.

Kept me engaged

Amazing characters

Well written and very descriptive, but the plot is boring. I kept hoping it would get better. Very disappointed.

Long-winded and boring.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
