Gild

by Raven Kennedy

Our rating

Spice 2/5 Darkness 4/5

Spice: mild. Darkness: very dark.

Auren is King Midas's gilded favorite, living in an actual birdcage and calling it love. Then raiders grab her on the road and a fae commander named Rip becomes her problem. Gild is slow and mostly setup. Glint is where the series takes off.
