Aden

In the majestic kingdom of Grimvale, the parties, the dances, and the smiles of the palace hide a much colder truth. Aden, a young jester raised among traveling circuses and cruel masters, has spent his entire life obeying orders in order to survive. He has never had a home, a family, or the freedom to choose his own path. Now he has been brought to the castle to become the personal entertainment of royalty. Silent, timid, and too used to keeping his eyes lowered, Aden does everything he can to please those around him, even when the court treats him as nothing more than another decoration of the palace. But behind his jokes and his carefully worn smile, Aden carries a desire he never dares to speak aloud. To stop belonging to someone and to live a quiet life far away from the invisible chains of the kingdom. Although in Grimvale, the most innocent dreams often become dangerous secrets.
