In the opulent realm of Orea, a woman with skin of gold lives in a magnificent cage. This is Auren, the prized possession of King Midas, whose touch transforms all to gold. For ten years, she has believed her gilded prison in Highbell Castle's atrium is for her protection-a sanctuary after a childhood of abuse and exploitation. The twenty-four golden ribbons growing from her spine-evidence of her fae heritage-remain her carefully guarded secret. "I will never get bored of you, Auren. You're perfect," Midas once promised, placing her hand over his heart. These tender memories formed the foundation of her unwavering loyalty. After all, wasn't he the only person who had ever shown her kindness in a world determined to harm her?
