Synopses

Gild

Locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, the narrator has never known freedom. No one can get in or out, apart from King Midas, who rescued her from the streets and gave her food, shelter and his heart. When political upheaval sends her across kingdoms to a future she no longer understands, everything she believed about Midas is shattered.

Glint

After ten years, she leaves the grip of one king only to fall into the hands of another. She has fought the Red Raid Pirates, endured the murder of those she cares about, and survived the frozen plains of Orea, only to become a prisoner of the army of the Fourth Kingdom. Its leader, Commander Rip, is known for brutality, but she begins to question the stories told about him.

Gleam

She was told confinement was meant to keep the bad out, until she realises it was about keeping her in. Midas made her forbidden and weak, but she finds her wings and her voice. After living among the army of the Fourth Kingdom, she is once again in strange lands, in a kingdom surrounded by liars.

Glow

Her life has been shaped and controlled by the greed of others, but she decides that ends now. After burning down King Midas’s court, she intends to rise and wield her own power. Turning against a king means everyone turns against her, yet with Slade by her side she will fight the monarchs who come for them, even if it means becoming the villains.

Gold

She was supposed to die, but Slade saves her and tears a hole in the world she knows, sending her to Annwyn. Annwyn is the realm of the fae, described as a magical place full of beauty and danger. Known there as Lyäri Ulvêre, she refuses to be the girl in the gilded cage again, and will not be used or stopped on her way back to Slade.
