The Gilded Cage. The Royal Heart Series book 2 - Kieran Menzies

The hardest cage to escape is the one built from love.

When an attack leaves the King of Thailand unconscious, Prince Kiran is forced into a role he never expected-Acting Regent of a nation watching his every move. With the monarchy under pressure and the Privy Council tightening its grip on power, every decision Kiran makes could shape the future of the kingdom.

And then Julian disappears.

Taken across the border into Cambodia and caught in the center of a hidden conspiracy, Julian becomes a pawn in a conflict far larger than either of them imagined. What begins as political intrigue quickly turns into something darker-kidnapping, betrayal, and a network of power that stretches across two nations.

But Julian has not stopped choosing.

While Kiran struggles to hold the kingdom together and uncover the truth behind the attack on his father, Julian fights to survive captivity and expose the forces working in the shadows. Their enemies believe distance and deception will break them.

They are wrong.

What follows will ignite a rescue that becomes an international crisis, reveal corruption at the highest levels of power, and force both men to confront the cost of the lives they have chosen.

In a world of duty, surveillance, and ancient expectations, love is the most dangerous act of rebellion.

And sometimes the only way to escape a gilded cage...
is to break it.

The Gilded Cage is the second novel in the Royal Hearts series, a sweeping story of love, loyalty, and the courage to choose truth in a world built on performance.
