The Gilded Cage - Paperback

by Min Azur (Author)

When twenty-two-year-old Kai Shaw is uprooted from quiet small-town life and dropped into the gleaming, ruthless towers of New York, he expects culture shock-not a war. After his father's death, Kai is taken in by his sister Amara, a senior VP at Thorn Industries, the empire built by legendary tyrant Charles Thorne. But the empire is crumbling under the rule of Charles's prodigal son, Jaden: a man raised to be perfect, powerful, and untouchable-and now determined to burn his inheritance to the ground.

Kai's plan is simple: keep his head down, survive the city, and protect what's left of his family. Instead he finds himself summoned by Jaden himself, drawn into a lethal game of sabotage, blackmail, and corporate espionage. Every secret he uncovers reveals another layer of armor around the icy CEO-and another crack in the gilded cage that has trapped them both.
