Raven Kennedy

Gild

£10.49

Gild by Raven Kennedy is a dark, provocative fantasy that reimagines the myth of King Midas through the lens of power, control, and awakening.

In the frozen kingdom of Highbell, everything glitters. Gold floors, gold walls, gold finery. Even the woman kept at its centre. Rescued from the slums and placed on a pedestal, she is Midas’s prized possession, Gold-Touched to prove his dominance and devotion. Protected, adored, and locked away, she believes safety is worth the cost.

Until it isn’t.

When war reaches the kingdom and a dangerous bargain is struck, the cracks beneath the gold begin to show. Trust fractures. Love is tested. And the truth about the man she belongs to becomes impossible to ignore. The palace that once felt like refuge reveals itself as a cage, gilded but no less confining.

Dark, unsettling, and emotionally charged, Gild is perfect for readers who crave morally complex stories, flawed heroines, and fantasy that interrogates obsession, autonomy, and the true price of power. The first step into a world where gold shines brightest just before it cuts.
