Immerse yourself in the third instalment of the TikTok sensation, The Plated Prisoner Series, by Raven Kennedy. Gleam continues the tale of Auren, a woman ensnared in a gilded world filled with treachery, rebellion, and fierce emotion. As she navigates the treacherous waters of court intrigue, Auren faces the ultimate challenge: seeking revenge against one king while struggling to resist her growing feelings for another.

"I was told that being confined was to keep the bad out... Until I realised it was about keeping me in."

Midas made Auren forbidden and weak, caging her in a cell of gold. But what he didn’t anticipate was her finding a voice, a song of resilience and defiance that now echoes through her being. Ignited by a newfound strength and simmering anger, Auren’s transformation is both powerful and perilous. The darkness within her begins to rise.

Enter King Ravinger, a figure both fascinating and fearsome. With him, Auren’s heart teeters on the brink of breaking. She must navigate the delicate balance between desire and duty, all while a growing rebellion looms around her.

Can Auren allow herself to fall in love when her fate hangs precariously in the balance? One thing is certain: she will no longer be confined by gilded bars. This time, she vows to be the one setting the trap.

If you were captivated by the first two novels in the series, Gild and Glint, this next chapter promises to enthral you even more, with its mixture of romance, myth, and a heroine’s fiery quest for freedom.

About the Author

Raven Kennedy is a California girl born and raised, whose love for books pushed her into creating her own worlds. The Plated Prisoner Series, a dark fantasy romance, has already sold in over a dozen countries and is a #1 international bestseller with over 1 million copies sold to date. It was inspired by the myth of King Midas and a woman's journey with finding her own strength. Her debut series was a romcom fantasy about a cupid looking for love of her own. She has since gone on to write in a range of genres. Whether she makes you laugh or cry, or whether the series is about a cupid or a gold-touched woman living in King Midas's gilded castle, she hopes to create characters that readers can root for. The Plated Prisoner series is being adapted for series by Peter Guber's Mandalay Television.
