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

Vincent's footsteps fell heavy behind Cassian and Dorian as they made their way through the winding corridors of the palace. His mind raced with countless thoughts.

damn! He had to find out about them. What they are going to discuss, it should not be late. He had to do something before everything repeated like the previous time.

As he rounded another corner, his brow furrowed in determination. Just a little closer, and he would overhear what they were discussing.

He could picture the scene: Dorian's authoritative tone, Cassian's hesitant replies. The thought of Dorian's softened gaze on Cassian made his gut churn.

But just as Vincent was about to catch up to them, a voice rang out from behind, cutting through the air like a blade.

Vincent halted mid-step, his irritation flaring at the interruption. He turned to find one of the royal advisors from his kingdom standing there and looking rather flustered.
