The Plated Prisoner by Raven Kennedy is a dark romantasy series reimagining the King Midas myth, beginning with Gild , where Auren—his gold-touched "precious" favored saddle—lives in luxurious isolation atop Highbank Castle, her skin, hair, and surroundings gilded by her latent powers that Midas exploits for his rule. Rescued as a teen from street horrors, Auren clings to gratitude amid watching Midas with his harem, until war forces her caravan's perilous trek across frozen wastelands, leading to capture by snow pirates and encounters with the rotting King Ravinger. As betrayals shatter her illusions, Auren awakens her true gold-wielding magic, forging tense alliances like with brooding commander Slade and fierce Rissa, navigating court schemes, monstrous threats, and her journey from gilded cage to empowered reckoning across Glint , Gleam , Glow , and beyond.

Spoiler-Free Review

Plated Prisoner! She a thiiiiiic girl and I loooooved her 💕

I don't know why this series isn't more popular. It's under-hyped in my very strong and usually correct opinion. It reminded me of Throne of Glass but with more 🌶️ and less battle scenes.

Does Slade/King Rot have a gross magical power where he rots people and things? Yes. Does Auren have gold skin ribbons that weird you out? Also, yes. Do we love both these characters? YES WE DO!

Spoiler-Free Review

Will you be a slave for Slade (insert Britney Spears background music here)? YES! A completed series with it all? ✅ This series is very loved for a reason, but like Jamie mentions - severely underrated and not spoken about enough! It draws you in right away with a harem scene (so yes, the spice is there!), but keeps you seriously entertained for the entire 6 books. I truly loved this series so much and get so excited when I see another Book Bestie pick it up. I’m embarrassed to say (or maybe IDGAF?) that I have zero knowledge of the King Midas story - public school must have failed me somewhere - but I have a feeling this is one of the best (and hottest) retellings ever.

It has the perfect amount of everything us Romantasy lovers LOVE: world building, characters you’ll remember forever, side characters you root for hard and HOPE get full books written about, twists you don’t see a’ comin’, character you despise but then also secretly root for….it’s just, sigh…the best. I’m jealous of you if you get to read this for the 1st time!
