The Gilded Prisoner: a Dark Fantasy Reverse Harem

When archaeologist Liora Vance brushes the dust from a forgotten mosaic, she doesn’t just uncover history—she wakes it.The buried elven pleasure-court erupts to life in molten gold and scented mist, sealing her inside the Auric Labyrinth and naming her what no mortal has survived to be:Royal Consort to the Bound Four.Aurelith, the decadent hedonist who tastes like sin and honeyed wine.Vaelorin, the battle-scarred warlord whose touch trembles on the edge of control.Nyxarel, the shadow-seer who reads futures in the dark between her breaths.Sylthien, the smiling liar who offers escape with one hand and chains with the other.Cursed with unbearable sensitivity, every breath of air feels like a blade on their skin—until Liora’s touch turns agony into intoxicating relief.In a court where walls remember every caress and illusions watch from the corners, Liora’s body becomes the most coveted power in the realm. Assassins want her dead, factions want her stolen, and the four immortal brothers want her…For comfort. For salvation. For themselves.Liora swore she’d never be anyone’s prize.But as the Labyrinth tightens around them, she may have to break every rule—gods’, elves’, and her own—to claim all four…and crown herself with the curse that made her theirs.
