Goldfinch

THE FINAL CHAPTER IN THE EPIC ROMANTASY THAT HAS SOLD 3 MILLION COPIES ACROSS THE WORLD. 
AUREN'S STORY ISN'T OVER YET. 
 
SHE WILL FLY. SHE WILL SOAR. 
 
-- 
 
One king caged my body. 
 
Another has caged my mind. 
 
War has broken out between Annwyn and Orea, though that’s not the only battle being waged. 
 
There’s a fight inside me, and it’s one I’m determined to win, no matter how much they try to strip me down and hollow me out. 
 
Yet they’ve forgotten one thing. The ancient magic of the pair bond. One can never truly be lost when two souls are already bound. 
 
Because Slade and I? We are connected by more than just fated magic, and we will always find each other. 
 
In any life. 
 
The fae king is trying to destroy me. My heritage. My memory. But what he hasn’t realized is this: gold bends, but stone breaks. 
 
And a Goldfinch does not fall. 
 
It flies.

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.

Raven has written a story for the ages, destined to go down as one of the epics' Sarah A Parker, author of When The Moon Hatched

This series is the gift that keeps on giving. Gold is an immaculate continuation of the Plated Prisoner series, full of breathtaking twists and heart-wrenching revelations. Raven’s writing never fails to transcend the page, puppeteering each word into a motion picture in my mind. The only problem is I NEVER want to leave. 
So much beauty … So much growth … So much chest-battering pain … I wish I could read it for the first time all over again.

Sarah A Parker, bestselling author of When the Moon Hatched, and the Crystal Bloom series

An emotional rollercoaster of a book that brings vivid and layered characters into a magical realm. The world building and pace is intricate and fast, this is a book you will race through

The angst. The heartbreak. The trauma. Slade's descent into his true villain era is everything. The combination of exquisite writing, magical characters, and an epic plot makes Plated Prisoner is my go-to romantasy recommendation for everyone I talk to, and Raven does it again with Gold.

Nisha J. Tuli, bestselling author of Trial of the Sun Queen

Gold is more than just a story of our beloved gold touched girl but a story of survival, determination and love that transcends worlds. A must read for anyone who loves a villain who will stop at nothing for the one he loves and a woman who will show the world nothing can break her.

Amber Nicole, author of Gods & Monsters series

Glow is every bit as fantastic as it it is heartbreaking. I could not put it down. I have not stopped thinking about it. Raven&rsquo;s writing and her beloved characters will have you in their clutches from beginning to end, with an insatiable hunger for more. I don&rsquo;t think I will ever be the same

Kaven Hirning, author of A Forbidden Fate

In all honesty I didn't want this book to end. What a wild emotional ride. I love Slade, I love Auren, I love Ryatt and so many more. I loved the POV chapters we got I loved seeing such an enriching backstory to Slade. I loved Auren's healing journey and coming into her own power. The two of them together are electrifying and the love they share is my favorite. Raven really makes you love and feel for these characters and now I have to wait for the next one. I highly recommend this book, this series. Auren's journey is spectacular and I cannot wait to see what else our little goldfinch has in store. Own your power babe. Gild the world

This is the story of King Midas... 
Or that's what we were always told. The Golden King with his palace of riches and me, his golden touched girl. 
I'm kept locked away. For my safety, I'm told. No one can get in. Apart from him. 
But when political upheaval becomes strife in our kingdom, I am sent with the royal court to be with my King. 
And everything I know starts to change. My love for Midas is challenged, my trust is broken. Everything I knew about him was wrong. 
We are told it's his tale but really, it's mine.

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.

Loyalty or freedom.
