Free Audio Book : The Gilded Cage, By Lynette Noni

Kiva Meridan is a beacon of resilience.

She not only endured the harsh conditions of Zalindov prison but also the lethal Trial by Ordeal. Now, Kiva’s objective extends beyond mere survival to retribution. For the past decade, her sole aim was to reunite with her family and annihilate those responsible for shattering their lives. But now that she has fled Zalindov, her mission has become increasingly complex.

As Kiva acclimates to her new existence in the capital, she realizes she wasn’t the only one who bore the brunt of her time in Zalindov—her siblings and their convictions have transformed too. Soon, it’s not just her adversaries she’s concealing secrets from, but her own kin as well.

Beyond the city fortifications, the rebels are stirring up tensions, accompanied by murmurs of an escalating threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva’s loyalties are more crucial than ever, but she’s starting to question their true placement. To endure this time, she’ll have to traverse a convoluted network of deceit before both factions of the conflict turn against her and she loses everything.
