Glow by Raven Kennedy

She was once gilded and caged. Now she burns with power—and the world will feel her fury. In Glow, the fourth and most explosive installment in Raven Kennedy’s bestselling Plated Prisoner series, Auren emerges from the ashes of betrayal and captivity ready to reclaim her power—and her future.

From the Back Cover:

"I was nothing but a road to Midas. A means to get to where he wanted to go, and I paved that path in gold."

My life has been made up of gilded lies. But death has been shaped from rot.

Like a phoenix caught fire, I will need to rise from the ashes and learn to wield my own power. Because my wings may have been clipped, but I am not in a cage, and I'm finally free to fly from the frozen kingdoms I've been kept in.

Yet the world doesn't want to let me.

That's the thing when you turn against a king—everyone else turns against you.

Good thing I have a different king in my corner.

But even with the dark threat of Sladea Ravinger, the other monarchs are coming for me.

So I will fight for him and he will kill for me, and if we need to become the villains, then so be it.

Because so long as I live in this world, I won't be used again.
