From the bestselling author of Sanctuary comes a thrilling Orwellian vision of Britain, with a rebellious Hunger Games heart. Gilded Cage is the astonishing debut novel by Vic James, and the first title in her electrifying The Dark Gifts Trilogy.

A modern Britain.
An age-old cruelty.

Britain's magically skilled aristocracy compels all commoners to serve them for ten years – and now it's the Hadleys' turn. Abi Hadley is assigned to England's most ruthless noble family. The secrets she uncovers could win her freedom – or break her heart. Her brother Luke is enslaved in a brutal factory town, where new friends' ideals might cost him everything.

Then while the elite vie for power, a young aristocrat plots to remake the world with his dark gifts. As Britain moves from anger to defiance, all three must take sides. And the consequences of their choices will change everything, forever.

'A dark and intriguing vision of an alternate, magic-drenched Britain, Gilded Cage kept me up way into the night'– Aliette de Bodard, author of The House of Shattered Wings

Beautifully characterised and compellingly plotted, Gilded Cage is an impressive debut
A dazzling addition to the growing genre of alternative historical fiction, James's first novel has the added bonus of compelling page-turnability
I really enjoyed this. It was a fast-paced, entertaining story, in a world that left me wanting to find out more. I will definitely be getting the next book when it comes out (Genevieve Cogman, author of The Invisible Library)
A dark and intriguing vision of an alternate, magic-drenched Britain, Gilded Cage kept me up way into the night (Aliette de Bodard, author of The House of Shattered Wings)
Devious and deliciously dark with lashings of magic, mystery and mayhem, this juggernaut of a book will keep you hanging on by your fingernails until the very last page (Taran Matharu, bestselling author of the Summoner series)
James's dystopian debut, the first part in her Dark Gifts trilogy, addresses issues of inequality that seem all to pertinent
It’s smart, engrossing and incredibly snappily written, with so many compelling characters and pulse-quickening situations that the whole book just flies by. We apologise for the cliché, but it is that good
The historical parallels are too delicious to ignore . . . one can’t help but anticipate the next novel in the series
Brisk plotting, sympathetic characters, and plenty of intrigue will keep readers on the edges of their seats, eager for the next book in a very promising series
An absorbing first installment that presages an intriguing new fantasy series.
Gilded Cage offers a fresh take on a popular genre. James' world is as compelling as her prose and as cleverly constructed. Told by a diverse cast of characters from various echelons of society, Gilded Cage is an unputdownable story . . . it's truly a gem
Ms. James writes with the skill of someone who has been an author for decades. I was blown away by how beautiful the prose was . . . In the end I was left emotionally spent and wanting another book to read immediately
Twists and turns make this hard to set down
The most intriguing political fantasy premise since The Hunger Games . . . While the premise is unique, James’ addictive storytelling echoes the strongest qualities of a few of the political YA series of recent years

I very well structured and thought provoking book. The split viewpoints kept things interesting and there was just enough light and shade in the storyline......looking forward to the next story!

Tremendous!

I really enjoyed this book but was somewhat disappointed that it isn’t a stand alone book but apparently part of a trilogy!! I should have read more of the reviews. However it is very enjoyable and the narration was brilliant

Very good

Personally I always feel cheated when a story doesn't have any kind of conclusion and you have to wait a year or two for the next books to get the end of the story. If this frustrates you too you may want to wait till the full trilogy has been written.
The publisher's summary leaves out the important fact that this is just the first book in the series which is rather naughty. Unlike the episodes of TV where the cliffhanger ending has you tuning in the following week, waiting a year or more for another book means I will probably have forgotten the story and consequently why I should read the next one.
Otherwise it's a fun, and undemanding listen, with an interesting premise - probably more for the YA market.

First in a trilogy

Thoroughly enjoyed The Guilded Cage. The storyline interweaves an alternate British history against a background of magic, or 'skill' of some people. As I got close to the end I realised the book wasn't going to give me the conclusion I wanted and I was very pleased to find it is the first part of a trilogy. Very much looking forward to the release of part two.

Dark. Distopian. Unequal. Skill

very well read. I enjoyed it very much. I didn't think I would enjoy a book fantasty world about magic.
I did.

Brilliant, have to read the next book
