Synopsis

A place in your home. A place at your hearth.

Kadou, the shy prince of Arast, finds himself at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court—the body-father of the queen’s new child—in an altercation that results in his humiliation.

To prove his loyalty to the queen, his sister, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds, with the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at
best. In Arast, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy, and the conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing and bring about its ruin.

A Taste of Gold and Iron be tasting a bit stale and ashy here :/ "Not bad but not good," as Jisoo from BLACKPINK would say. It was good but a tad bit underwhelming for me. No plot, just vibes.

Romance in the dark with you, all at once I knew / Darlin', love was near / I thrill to my fingertips, I could feel your lips / Darlin', oh, so near (Romance in the Dark – Billie Holiday).

We’re getting Tadek’s story! So excited about it! Winter’s Orbit’s politics meets a lesser cruel Captive Prince. Add a slow-burn romance full of yearning, and A Taste of Gold and Iron is born. First of all, look at that gorgeous cover! I love it so much, and it fits the story so well!   This was just t......more
