Mae:

I never imagined my twelfth season in the Jarlton would make me a suitor to the enigmatic Dragon Prince. My only goal was to secure my younger sister’s future and salvage our family’s crumbling fortunes. Instead, I’m thrust into a world of royal intrigue, where winning the Prince’s favour is just the beginning.

But my true battle lies with Kael, the infuriatingly handsome tutor hiding a shadowed past—and secrets that could unravel everything I thought I knew about the kingdom.

Astrid:

Courtly balls and the Dragon Prince’s attention were never my dreams—I’ve always longed for a place on the High Council of Runemakers. But when my ambition crumbles, I’m left facing more than just whispered pity.

A mysterious illness is overtaking me and my closest friend. It has claimed generations of runemakers before us, and I must uncover their secrets before time runs out.

A Gilded Game is a spellbinding tale of love, betrayal, and resilience, perfect for fans of alternate history romantic fantasy and high-stakes court intrigue.
