About this audiobook
From bestselling author and TikTok sensation A.K. Mulford comes the first riveting, enchanting book in the all-new Golden Court romantasy trilogy—A River of Golden Bones begins a journey of self-discovery, romance, and adventure for a young heir as she/they comes out of hiding to save her sister from a malicious, powerful sorceress and her dangerous sleeping curse.
A sleeping curse. A fallen court. A secret twin.
Twins Calla and Briar have spent their entire lives hiding from the powerful sorceress who destroyed their kingdom…and from the humans who don’t know they are Wolves. Each twin has their own purpose in life: Briar’s is to marry the prince of an ally pack and save the Golden Court. Calla’s purpose is to remain a secret, her twin’s shadow . . . the backup plan.
No one knows who Calla truly is except for her childhood friend—and sister’s betrothed—the distractingly handsome Prince Grae. But when Calla and Briar journey out of hiding for Briar’s wedding, all of their well-made plans go awry. The evil sorceress is back with another sleeping curse for the last heir to the Golden Court.
Calla must step out of the shadows to save their sister, their kingdom, and their own legacy. Continuing to hide as a human and denying who she truly is, Calla embarks on a quest across the realm, discovering a whole world she never knew existed. Outside the confines of rigid Wolf society, Calla begins to wonder: who could she be if she dared to try?
Full of adventure, love, gender exploration, and self-discovery, A River of Golden Bones follows Calla’s journey through treacherous Wolf kingdoms, monster-filled realms, and the depths of their own heart in this thrilling romantic fantasy.

Editor's Note
Wolfish, daring adventure…
Mulford (author of “The Five Crowns of Okrith” series) puts a wolfish spin on a classic fairy tale, with elements of spicy romance, daring adventure, and queer representation to boot. When the sorceress who killed their mother and seized the Golden Court puts a sleeping curse on Calla’s twin sister, Calla must come out of hiding — and into their own identity — to set things right. “A River of Golden Bones” is the first novel in Mulford’s “Golden Court” trilogy.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Honestly I could give it a better score given that it is just my personal preference and opinion but I honestly didn't like Grae at all..spoliers: once she got acquainted with the humans I put an idea in my head she would be split more, her human side falling in love while her wolf side was mated, let her have that conflict and rebellion. And honestly it's not the books fault because I had higher expectations then just a fated romance it was going to be.
