This book is a good world builder but kind of long for just being a building book. There is no conflict resolution but just setting up for what I assume will be the plot over the next few books. Auren is prisoner of Midas. She is his favored, but he keeps her in a cage. Midas can turn things to gold or give them a gold coating? Midas saved Auren once in their past and so she is bonded to him. Auren also has a golden touch power. We see her use this power to save herself.
Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, and Slavery
Moderate: Vomit, Trafficking, and Classism
