And it'll be their downfall too' Locked away in a castle on the snowy mountains in the Sixth Kingdom of Orea, I have never known freedom. No one can get in or out. Apart from him. King Midas, who rescued me from the streets. Who gave me food, shelter, and his heart. Who I promised to love forever. But when political upheaval sees me sent across kingdoms to a future I no longer understand, everything I thought I knew about King Midas is shattered . . . The world has only ever heard his story. Now it's time to hear mine. Glint 'I hope you burn so bright that you scorch your Golden King down to ash' After ten years, I have left the grips of one king only to fall into the hands of another. I have fought the terrifying Red Raid Pirates, endured the murder of those I care about, and survived the frozen planes of Orea, only to find myself a prisoner of the army of Fourth Kingdom. Leading the army is Commander Rip, a notorious warrior whose name is whispered in taverns and street corners all over the six kingdoms. But as I get to know him, I realise that the tales of his brutality aren't true. He is something else. He is fae. Part of the powerful and magical people who are said to have abandoned this world entirely three hundred years ago. But here one stands before me. And when he turns his onyx eyes upon me, I fall captive. For an entirely different reason. As his army march towards a battle with the king I once adored, I must decide. Midas or Rip. Loyalty or freedom. In this game of war and love, it's my turn to choose. Gleam '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. Glow 'It scares me - what I did that night. Because I don't know my own power . . . But that's been the problem all along, hasn't it?' My life has been shaped and controlled by the greed of others, but that ends now. I have burned down the court of King Midas and from those flames, I will rise and wield my own power. The problem is, 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...
