From internationally bestselling author and TikTok phenom Raven Kennedy comes the third book in a stunning fantasy series inspired by the myth of King Midas, perfect for fans of Sarah J Maas and Jennifer L Armentrout.

King Midas made me the woman I am today. Notorious. Unattainable. His.

The thing about being confined is that you believe it's to keep the bad out... Until you realize it's about keeping you in.

I'm now in a strange kingdom surrounded by liars, with no allies of my own, but I won't sit idly by and let myself wither. No, there's something that's bloomed from the pit of my repression. Something dark. Something angry.

But the last thing I expected was for my anger to call out to him. King Ravinger.

He's sinister and powerful and entirely too seductive. I've learned my lesson with trusting manipulative kings, so why does my chest constrict every time he's near? I need to tread carefully, or I'm at risk of losing much more than just my freedom.

Regret and revenge war inside of me, and I need to figure out a plan fast before I get tangled up in the schemes of kings and queens.

Because I won't be caught in a cage again. No, this time, It'll be me setting the trap... I just hope my heart comes out of this unscathed.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"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. RK has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics." —Sarah A Parker, author of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom

"Raven writes with a magic that comes to life on the page. Every single word gleams like gold." —Beck Michaels, author of Divine Blood

"I've been a fan for a while but this book is in a league of its own. It was an emotional rollercoaster." —Elizabeth Brown, author of Blood Crown

"This series is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. It is one of the best New Adult Fantasy books out there." —Kay Thatcher, author of Prince of Blades

Auren is a beast.

Holy. Crap. This one gets the full 5 out of 5 stars.

Aurens build up in this book was just immaculate to me. She goes from a broken downtrodden captive with Stockholm Syndrome to a powerful in her own right bad@ss. It was very slow paced in a lot of places, but I think it was needed to accurately give the reasons and build up it needed.

I am all for gratification as quickly as possible but so much would have been lost if she gave us the quick and dirty. I absolutely loved this book and out of the first three, this was my favorite.

And that ending. I am still reeling from it!

This book takes you on a ride! We FINALLY get to see the relationship progress with auren and slade but the obstacles they face in this one, it’s hard to say how they will come out the other side. I can’t wait to keep reading!

Rating: 5/5 ⭐ Spice Level: 3.5/5

Tropes/CW: Dark Fantasy Romance, Retelling (King Midas), Abuse, Captivity, Toxic Relationship, Emotional Abuse, Torture, Enemies to Lovers, Slow-Burn

This book y'all, f*ing amazing. Best one in the series (so far). We're still following our girl Auren along on her journey, and what a journey. In this book we get frustration, growth, passion, tragedy and so much heart-wrenching trauma. This book made me laugh, cry and just plain broke me.

Auren - back with Midas, but standing up for herself. Rip/Slade - Just gets better and really encourages Auren to blossom. Midas - still a POS. Wrath - Getting more awesome.

Spice - we get some gooooood stuff in this one.

Now, when reading this, if you know you aren't going to finish it in one go, stop before you hit the 75/80% mark and pick it up again when you can finish it. Because if you past that point, you will stay up way later than you need to in order to finish it, or you will be super frustrated that you had to stop.

The last 20-25% is a wild ride so make you sure have your seatbelt fastened and arms and legs inside the cart.

I could not put this book down.

Let's keep this short because I'm off to read book 4. Imagination and great writing at its best. This is a tale never written. The writer has created a storyline with so much imagination, twists, and turns that enraptured me from book two. I look forward to the series. 😉
