The Plated Prisoner series is Raven Kennedy’s most popular and widely translated work. Set in the world of Orea, the story follows Auren, a woman touched by gold and kept by the powerful King Midas. What begins as a gilded cage story evolves into something much larger, with Auren’s world expanding as she encounters new characters and challenges that force her to question everything she knows.
The series spans six books from Gild (2020) to Goldfinch (2024), and it has been sold in over twenty countries. Kennedy blends romance with political intrigue and worldbuilding on a grand scale. The mythology of the Midas touch gives the story a distinctive foundation, and the series has become a staple of the BookTok and fantasy romance communities.
