About this book
After a devastating sacrifice, our heroine awakens in Annwyn, a breathtaking fae realm where she's both a stranger and legend—and where powerful forces are determined to keep her trapped in her past. Stripped of the gilded cage that once defined her, she's finally learning who she really is, but reclaiming her freedom means navigating treacherous politics, ancient magic, and her own heart's fierce pull back to the one person she's willing to fight for. This is a lush, angsty journey where love and defiance burn just as bright as gold, with plenty of swoon-worthy moments tangled up in danger and destiny. If you crave richly layered fantasy romance with real stakes and characters who refuse to be broken, this one's calling your name.

“Create a playlist called Gold. Dark, sensual, and haunting—lush orchestral and gothic electronic mixed with sultry R&B and indie rock. Capture the tension of forbidden desire, ancient magic, and desperate defiance. Think Hozier's darkness, FKA twigs' sensuality, and Evanescence's intensity. Yearning, dangerous, and unapologetically spicy.”

“Most people don't make it past the first book Guild, but I'm begging you to keep going because Guild reads kind of like a prequel.”
