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

Cassian asked in a gentle voice. Now he felt more comfortable, so he could finally think clearly, and it seemed his mind was slowly coming out of the haze of that damn void.

"Amm, me?" the old man said while turning the herbs and fiddling with his small bag—a bag that Cassian had not even noticed earlier.

"Yeah, you? Weren't you the one who saved me?" Cassian pressed on with eager eyes.

"Hah! Young man, you really know how to joke! I am just an old healer. Where would I get the power to save a knight?"

"It's the master of this place who rescued you and your companion."

"Master? Companion?" Cassian's eyes suddenly widened as memories from the last day came crashing into his mind.

How could he forget about his companions? They were all seriously injured, and here he was, living in complete oblivion.

"What kind of leader am I? That void completely messed with my brain and rendered me helpless."
