The Golden Curse

Zinnia Midas carries the weight of her father's name, a name once worth its weight in gold, now tarnished by greed and regret. When King Midas's desperate attempt to save the kingdom from financial ruin leaves her sister cursed with the fateful 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; the forest steals the memories of all who enter. To save her sister, Zinnia must brave its dangers and unravel the curse at its source. But King Midas has lost something far more precious than gold. Stripped of the core memories of his daughter, he uses his newfound wealth to raise an army, determined to silence her 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.
