The Gilded Cage

Written by Lynette Noni

Narrated by Jeanette Illidge

Kiva trades one cage for another when she leaves behind a deadly prison for a deceptive palace in this dark and dangerous sequel to The Prison Healer, which Sarah J. Maas called ""a must-read.""

Kiva Meridan is a survivor.

She survived not only Zalindov prison, but also the deadly Trial by Ordeal. Now Kiva’s purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal was to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever.

As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn’t the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov—her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it’s not just her enemies she’s keeping secrets from, but her own family as well.

Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva’s allegiances are more important than ever, but she’s beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she’ll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.

Reviews for The Gilded Cage

[susan wambua · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The ending was mind-blowing... absolutely enjoyed this book though some of the decisions by the FMC irked me

[Muneera Al-Yaqoup · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

A bit boring honestly. But it got good towards the end.

[Tristan Rock · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This series is very good! The only thing holding me back from rating this book 5 stars is how frustrated I got with the FMC’s naiveté. There were too many times where she was so blind to what was clearly going on, that it drove me a little batty. Regardless, this serious is very entertaining and the plot twists are top tier. The narrator was also really good!
