Description

The fourth book in The Plated Prisoner series - the 50M view TikTok Dark Fantasy phenomenon.

I have burned down the court of King Midas, and from those flames, I will rise and wield my own power. The problem is, the world won't let me. Because when you turn against a King, everyone turns against you.

But with Slade by my side, we will fight the monarchs that come for us. And if we need to become the villains, then so be it. Because as long as I live in this world, I won't be used again.

I must be strong. I must be undefeatable. I will shine like the sun - and blind my enemies.
