The Gilded Cage: Book One of The Obsidian Empire Trilogy

In a world built on power, obsession, and betrayal, love is the most dangerous currency of all.

When a woman with secrets of her own crosses paths with a man born to rule the shadows, their collision ignites a war between desire and control. She saw his crime. He became her cage.

Inside the gilded walls of the Obsidian Empire, loyalty is a weapon, passion is punishment, and freedom comes at a price no one survives paying. But even in captivity, she learns that not all cages are made of gold - some are forged from longing, silence, and the lies we tell ourselves to stay alive.

The Gilded Cage is a cinematic dark romance about power, obsession, and the kind of love that burns too hot to survive. Perfect for readers who crave morally gray heroes, forbidden attraction, and the intoxicating pull between danger and desire.
