THE TIKTOK FANTASY SENSATION THAT'S SOLD OVER HALF A MILLION COPIES, PERFECT FOR FANS OF SARAH J. MAAS AND JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

'I don't choose him. Not anymore. I'm choosing me.'

I was told that being confined was to keep the bad out . . . Until i realized it was about keeping me in'

Midas made me forbidden and weak. Little did he know that I would find my wings and voice - which sings now.

After living amongst the terrifying army of Fourth Kingdom, I find myself, once again, in strange lands and a kingdom surrounded by liars.

But something has ignited within me. Something dark. Something angry.

Then comes King Ravinger.

And the last thing I wanted was my heart to be torn.

Can I really fall in love when the cities around me threaten to crumble and my fate hangs in the balance?

One thing is for sure, I won't be caught in a cage again.

No, this time, it'll be me setting the trap.

Critic reviews

Praise for The Plated Prisoner Series
This series has stolen my heart, my breath, my regard for anything else. I've never been so immersed in a story before-never read characters that have felt so real. I've cried, laughed, screamed, thrown my kindle across the room, picked it up again, swooned . . . These characters, this WORLD . . . it's everything. Raven has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics
Raven writes with a magic that comes to life on the page. Every single word gleams like gold
This is one of those series that started off phenomenal, and only gets better with every subsequent book.
This series is amazing and I can't recommend it enough. It is one of the best New Adult Fantasy books out there.
TEN GILDED STARS! Remarkably original . . .and the prose, people . . . gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous
An emotional rollercoaster
What I've enjoyed so far about this series is how it's a metaphor about real, emotional issues
I devoured [the] first book and it ended on such a nice cliff-hanger that I am thirsting for the next one
This series has stolen my heart, my breath, my regard for anything else. I've never been so immersed in a story before-never read characters that have felt so real. I've cried, laughed, screamed, thrown my kindle across the room, picked it up again, swooned ... These characters, this WORLD ... it's everything. RK has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics. (Sarah A Parker, author of To Bleed a Crystal Bloom)

Amazing story, couldn’t imagine the way it’s gone in this third book. Great series. The female narrator is excellent but the male missed the mark. Completely didn’t make his voice the way it’s described at all. Excellent listen, however.

Great twists and turns with such a love story

Not too shabby
Gold to some gleaming to others left me wanting the third instalment

Good read

A Midas retelling that continued from book 2 Glint. Gleam is riveting, thrilling and exciting.
Auren is back with King Midas. His mechanisms are unknown to Auren and she's to naive with her safety. However Auren and Slade's slow burn romance turn into an inferno. Swoonworthy declarations between the two.
Bella Sanby captures the listener and keeps them. The vulnerability and pain is felt in her voice and experienced by the listener. Harlan Corvo is engaging as MMC's voices, however at some point there was a slight struggle to distinguishing between voices. He still did a great job. Editing was slightly off with volume chances sporadically but it did not interfere with overall enjoyment. Please check triggers with author as their are few.

Pure gold...

Really pleased that the story picked up. The 1st couple of books were really frustrating, so happy to see the story started to get better.

Best book so far

Slaaaaaade
