Two years ago I read A Touch of Gold and really enjoyed it. I had never read a King Midas retelling before and was intrigued. Yesterday the sequel, A Curse of Gold, released and today is my spot on the book tour hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours. I’m going to tell you about the book, there’s a giveaway (US only, sorry!) during the tour and a lot of amazing bloggers/bookstagrammers are participating!

A Curse of Gold by Annie Sullivan
Genre: YA Fantasy Retelling
Publishing Date: September 22, 2020

Curses and queens. Pirates and kings. Gods and magic. This highly anticipated sequel to Annie Sullivan’s enchanting A Touch of Gold, the story of the daughter King Midas turned to gold, is the gripping crescendo to this sweeping fantasy adventure. The final saga of a cursed queen, a vengeful Greek god, and a dazzling kingdom in the balance.

After barely surviving thieving, bloodthirsty pirates and a harrowing quest at sea to retrieve her stolen treasure, Kora finds readjusting to palace life just as deadly. Kora’s people openly turn against her, threatening her overthrow as heir to the throne—a cursed queen who has angered Dionysus. When Dionysus puts out a challenge to kill the girl with the golden touch and burn down her kingdom, it’s not just her future on the throne in danger. Kora’s life and entire kingdom are now on contract.

As bold and brave as ever, Kora sets out to find Dionysus, the very person who is trying to kill her, on the mysterious disappearing island of Jipper. Kora has no other choice. If she wants to save her kingdom and have any chance at reversing her father’s curse, she will have to enter into a deadly game with Dionysus, the greatest trickster the world, or the underworld, has ever seen.
