Crownbound in Treason

In a palace where silence is obedience and perfection is survival,

Kabir exists as a shadow-
an Indian servant who is anything but ordinary, a spy trained to observe, calculate, and disappear within the system that was never meant to see him as human.
But the moment he catches the attention of Julien, a sharp-minded British official who notices what others overlook, the careful balance begins to fracture.
Suspicion turns into fascination, and their quiet battle of control slowly shifts into something far more dangerous-recognition.
Meanwhile, in the same suffocating corridors, Sarat- another spy who survives through humor, masking fear with laughter and rebellion with charm, until he crosses paths with Edric, a calm and unreadable figure who speaks in silences and watches like he already knows the ending. Where Sarat is chaos, Edric is control-and yet, against all logic, they begin to understand each other. As secrets tighten and loyalties blur, both pairs find themselves trapped in a system built to erase individuality,

where every connection is a risk and every emotion a weakness. Because in a place like this, love is not freedom-it is treason.
