There are of course the other three kingdoms but I have no idea what they're famous for because I either forgot or it wasn't mentioned. King Midas, a disgusting pig aka the Golden King, rules the Sixth Kingdom known for it's riches, while King Fulke, another disgusting pig who is allies with Midas, rules the Fifth Kingdom, and King Ravinger idk yet if he's also a pig or not-known for having the strongest & largest army force of all-rules the Fourth Kingdom. In the land of Orea, there lies six kingdoms. But I can see that the author is setting up everything and Auren's character is definitely going to develop from here on out. Unfortunately for majority of the book, things like that happen which I hated and because of that I just really can't give this a higher rating. It is hard to rate this though because of all the abuse that happens in here, and so obviously I didn't enjoy those parts. I mean I was supposed to be angry, anyone would with the terrible events and characters in Gild. I was debating over my rating for awhile but then I realized that while I was angry understatement over a lot of things that happened in here, I didn't completely hate this. Anyone who plans to read this-make sure to look at the trigger warnings and prepare yourself. I knew this was going to be dark, but ahaha I wasn't expecting this💀 This is definitely adult. Literally so many times I had to put the book down and stop reading because of the disturbing scenes like wow does this have all the trigger warnings out there. This is book one in a series.Īn alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here.Īll these disgusting sexist pig-headed men can go to hell :) It is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age.

Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck.

And even though I don’t leave the confines of the palace, I’m safe. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart.
