Cassian had lived his life in the most miserable way. He had scrubbed the floors and washed the clothes in the cold winter and done everything just to please his uncle’s family, but in return, they sold him to a merchant only for a pouch of coins.

And the merchant decided to gift him to the king of Aetherlyn, a faraway kingdom from his small village to show his loyalty and curry favor from the king. And he was the lucky one from the group to be choosen by the king. Thus he got the position of palace servant. 

Cassian thought maybe his life in the palace would be different, but he was bound to be disappointed as the people in the palace were far more sinister and ruthless. Scheming ran in their blood.

And can anyone tell him why his path always crossed with the notorious first prince of the kingdom? The seemingly cold prince had an unpredictable temper. And why was he always drawn to him like a moth to a light?

Will Cassian be able to survive in the palace where the true faces are hidden behind masks, or will he become more entangled in their schemes and just become a mere pawn in their game?

Chained Hearts: From Slavery to Sovereignty

Queen Selena's face became red from all the humiliation. She struggled to maintain her composure but failed terribly; Vincent's remark had clearly hit a nerve, and she felt tongue-tied. She tried to mask her irritation, but it was still visible on her face.

Vincent smirked at the Queen's colorless face and how her face was twisting in rage, and the fact that she couldn't show him her anger made it even more amusing for him.

Queen Selena opened her mouth to say something, but her mouth simply stopped responding when she locked her eyes with Vincent's unyielding gaze. She felt lost, unable to respond, and felt like a cornered animal who would be dead in seconds if they dared to scream.

She realized that she was in no position to continue the conversation. The Queen gave a tight-lipped smile to Vincent and nodded curtly. "Yes, well, honesty is indeed a virtue. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must see other guests."
