It was inspired by the myth of King Midas. Her debut series was a romcom fantasy about a cupid looking for love of her own. She has since gone on to write in a range of genres.

We have Auren who has been kept in a cage as King Midas' prisoner for ten years and is being seriously mentally and emotionally tortured. She now has a horrific case of Stockholm Syndrome and it's painful to read her adoration of Midas even as he abuses her and whores her out for his own gain. I made it to 30% through the book and then couldn't take any more crude language and nasty, vicious behaviour - I was starting to feel queasy. I flicked through the rest of the book to see if it improved but every page I landed on was a torrent of physical and sexual violence against women.
I've given it 3 stars because, if you like this kind of thing, then it's well written. But for me the story was far too violent and degrading.

However, for all my indie authors out there, don't have an amazing cover with nothing substantial to back it up because Gild is terrible. It's worse than terrible, it's boring.
I skimmed through most of it because nothing much was happening and the main character committed the worst book crime imaginable and was completely uninteresting. I felt no connection to her and spent the majority of the book hating every stupid thing that came out of her mouth. There's naivety and then theres just plain stupidity and Auren is definitely the latter.
Auren is the 'favoured' of King Midas. He turned her gold - for reasons unknown - and keeps her caged up in his golden palace to apparently just watch him indulge himself in carnal exploits. There's some reference to them having a relationship prior to her being gold which i guess is meant to explain why she doesnt realise and/or care that this is an abusive relationship. No, she simply wants to be one of his coveted 'saddles - the word for whores apparently - and join in the rest of the sordid fun because she loooves him! She also randomly has ribbons coming out of her back. Like 24 long apparently silk like sentient like ribbons that just grow out of her back. For what purpose I have no idea because they do nothing when it matters other than elude to the fact that she's clearly something 'special'. Booo!
For reasons i wont bother sharing, Auren gets to leave the palace and what follows is a pointlessly drawn out journey of her making stupid decisions, getting her acquaintances killed and raped and revealing powers that i couldnt work out why she hadnt used up til now to protect herself or her companions. Not that she would need protecting since NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO HER. She has Main Character Protection in that everyone else gets hurt because of her actions but she is miraculously saved from torture, rape, abuse etc. even though she is literally walking treasure. Why has noone cut off her finger yet?
Anyway, throw in some random pirate, drop in a long thought dead Fae race, elude to the fact that she is something that its clear she is already by this point and youve got yourself a train wreck of a book that i literally rolled my eyes at at every swipe of the kindle page.
I always want people to try books regardless of reviews to form their own opinions but this just isnt worth it. Great marketing, great cover but this is one hundred per cent disappointment in all other aspects. When she referred to one of the pirate's hat as 'a pirate hat' instead of a 'tricorn' I knew this needed to be in the bin.

Page one starts with an orgy, and not even a well written one. By page seven (seven!) the orgy has included all kinds of kinky acts that Amazon would gladly flag my review for mentioning, and you haven’t even gotten one glimpse of the FMC, nor do you have any idea what the plot is supposed to be.
It’s lazy writing to cram badly written spicy scenes in where they don’t need to be just to try and keep your audience engaged.
And the scenes are badly written. I’m no prude, but these were written like someone trying to write stage directions on a stack of cue cards. (Now you, move there. And you grab this. And I’m going to do this. Yay we’re done, the end, exit stage left)
I didn’t make it very far in, I pushed beyond the initial ridiculousness and realized that King Midas is described as not even very attractive, and he calls his harem “saddles” that he gets to “ride” and the FMC is kept in a cage her whole life and for some reason she just really luuuuuuuuvs him.
Gag. Barf. Bleach my hands for even holding this book please.
At least the cover is pretty…I’ll enjoy watching it go into the trade in pile at the local used book store.

For me, the best part of this series how little we know. From the half way point, I genuinely couldn't have called where the book was going to go. I definitely didn't expect the introduction of the two factions in the last third of the book. I'm so excited to see where this series is going! The reimagining of the tale of Kind Midas is written so well and I'm fascinated by Auren and Midas' past. I really hope we get to find out how he got his powers and how he became king.
I'm very excited for book 2 of this series, I can tell it's going to be a favourite of mine!
