Her sister was turned to gold.
Her father is the reason why.
Zinnia Midas carries the weight of her father's name, once worth its weight in gold and now tarnished by greed and regret. When King Midas's desperate attempt to save the kingdom from financial ruin leaves her sister turned to gold by her father's fatal golden touch, Zinnia is forced beyond the palace walls for the first time in her life. Her journey takes her through towns hollowed by poverty and fear and into the whispering woods, steeped in the power of the goddess Mnemosyne, where memories are stolen from all who enter.
To save her sister, Zinnia must brave its dangers and unravel the curse at its source. King Midas, stripped of the memory of his wife, uses his newfound wealth to raise an army, determined to silence Zinnia before she can reveal the truth of what he has done.
The Golden Curse is a story of family, memory, and the lengths one girl will go to protect the ones she loves.
Some truths are more dangerous than curses.
