It's time to dive into a new book! This month we're reading Gild by Raven Kennedy and this week we're reading chapters 1-8. This week we meet our main character, Auren, who has a very particular circumstance - she's completely dusted in gold, and lives in a gilded cage with the man who put her there, King Midas. But here's the twist - she loves him and apparently he loves her too, even though he's married to the Queen and even though he has a ton of servants whose sole responsibility is being available for sex whenever he wants. Yet for some reason, Auren loves him and wants to please him - but this week, Midas goes too far, and promises a night with Auren to a neighboring King to have access to his army. Auren has to rectify the man she loves with this King of ambition, and it sucks for her!
