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

Finally, they could see the outline of a massive wall towards the horizon; they had reached the city of Galdreth.

It was just a two-day journey from the day they fought Voidmaw, but it took them seven days just to reach the city.

Their every step towards the Galdreath brought them towards the larger den of monsters; not a single minute were they able to breathe peacefully.

The attack of the void maw was just the trailer; the reality was beyond it. in just seven days all of them were in battered and bloodied condition, not dead yet.

Every day brought more monsters that were more dangerous and relentless than the last one. The group barely had time to rest before the next fight started.

The closer they got to Galdreth, the stronger the monsters became. At first they had faced smaller beasts like Gnarlbeaks with their sharp claws and beaks and Shadow Paws that moved quietly through the forest with only their glowing eyes warning before they attacked.
