In the frozen kingdom of Highbell, a woman lives within a gilded palace after King Midas, whose touch turns things to gold, brought her out of the slums and made her his favored possession by covering her in gold. Confined to the palace but believing herself safe and protected, she has given the king her heart. When war reaches the kingdom and a deal is struck, her trust and understanding of the man she loves are called into question, and she begins to see the luxurious life she leads as a cage.
