Raven Kennedy’s Plated Prisoner series – a retelling of the myth of King Midas, whose touch turned everything to gold – is coming to the small screen.

Mandalay Television has optioned the five book series, which were initially self-published by the author, about Auren, a young woman whose life has been affected by the King and his curse.

Mandalay’s Vanessa Johnston told Deadline, “The story of King Midas and his golden touch is well known and well-loved. This is a retelling of a completely transformed tale, one that dives deep beneath the myth and produces a heartbreaking, and inspirational saga. The world the author has created has captured the imaginations of millions of people and we are excited to be adapting the rich and fantastical world that Raven Kennedy has so vividly created.”
