'It is men's hubris to think so little of women.' And it will be their undoing as well.' This is King Midas' narrative. At least, that's what we're usually taught. The Golden King, his opulent home, and me, the girl he converted to gold. I'm imprisoned in Highbell Castle amid the frigid highlands of Orea's Sixth Kingdom. It's for my own protection, they say. Away from the perils of the world beneath. No one can enter. Aside from him. I was saved from the streets by King Midas. He provided me with food, shelter, and his heart. I swore to adore him for the rest of my life. But when conflict comes to the kingdom, a deal is made - and I am at the centre of it.Everything begins to shift. My faith in Midas was shaken, and my love for him was tested. Because everything I thought I understood about this man was incorrect. Suddenly, I'm summoned to journey beyond realms to a future I don't recognise, and my spirit is put to the ultimate test. This is his story, I'm told. However, this may no longer be the case. Maybe... it's mine. This is Auren's tale. 'A beautifully crafted, interesting, and innovative retelling of King Midas's old story.' 5***** Reader Review 'I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting,' says the author.
