I’d put the book down then, inexplicably, I couldn’t concentrate on any other task. I don’t say this lightly, and I don’t say it without meaning-I didn’t simply speed through these last two books, they de manded I read them at all times, without remorse.

Not only did I ENJOY these last two books, they devoured me. Because if I show him my fear, if I reveal my weaknesses to this male, he’ll latch onto those threads and yank them all, unraveling me completely. Fate has a hilarious way of working out, don’t you think?Īll the grief, all the worry, I wrap it up like old yarn on a spool, tucking away every frayed strand. I am dead serious when I tell you that I literally had never even HEARD of this book or this author before I accidentally stumbled onto it when I was trying to figure out the name of a totally different book series. Broken record, but it appears I’ve been taken by surprise yet again. And as if that weren’t cruel enough, our minds make sure we relive those moments again and again and again, long after they’ve passed. I’ve learned that pain and fear have a way of prolonging. It stretches on, lengthening seconds, extending minutes. Return to the seductive story of magic inspired by the myth of King Midas, and get caught up in the world of Orea. It’s an adult epic fantasy story blending romance, intrigue, and beautiful imagery. This is the captivating second book of The Plated Prisoner series. The question is, can I out maneuver them? In the game of kings and armies, I’m the gilded pawn. I may be out of my cage, but I’m not free, not even close. When he turns those black eyes on me, I feel captive for an entirely different reason. But his eyes-his eyes are the most compelling of all. Rip has power sizzling beneath this skin and glinting spikes down his spine. The ones who nearly destroyed Orea, wiping out Seventh Kingdom in the process. Known for his brutality on the battlefield, his viciousness is unsurpassed.

They’re marching to battle, and I’m the bargaining chip that will either douse the fire or spark a war.Īt the heart of my fear, my worry, there’s him-Commander Rip. Now I’m here, a prisoner of Fourth Kingdom’s army, and I’m not sure if I’m going to make it out of this in one piece. For ten years, I’ve lived in a gilded cage inside King Midas’s golden castle.
