Sudheera Kashyap, popularly know as Dheera, is a final year design student in India's dream city. With laid back, super cool parents, a diverse yet tight knit group of friends, a new adventure every day and her bright future as an interior designer almost within her grasp, life is oh so amazing for Dheera, or at least that's what she tells herself every night. But she still can't help but want for more. Late at night, when the world is asleep, she stays awake dreaming of far greater adventures, a land far far away, and people she has yet to meet. Her thirst for something she herself doesn't understand is what drives her to do it all. To accept every dare thrown her way, to take on every adventure she lays her eyes on, all in search of something more, something incomprehensible. 

And, that is exactly how she finds herself locked inside an old, abandoned and very spooky house in the woods far away from civilization. What she discovers next changes her whole life.

Shreya Awasthy is a 20-year old, highly energetic, American-born Indian. Having lived all her life in the States with occasional visits to her native place of Mumbai, she suddenly finds herself planning a clandestine solo trip to a small town of Suryagarh in Rajasthan. The fort is infamous for a curse according to which every princess would die before turning 21. 

Intrigued, she lands at the enigmatic palace resort and finds the place quite enticing. But when she chances upon a painting of a long-dead princess of the kingdom, she is baffled beyond measure, for the princess looked exactly like Shreya. 

Trying to convince herself that this is a case of sheer coincidence, Shreya tries to run away, scared of discovering something more sinister. However, her efforts come to a halt when the debonair Aarush Chauhan lets her on a secret. 

Soon, Shreya finds herself amidst a half a millennia-old feud, where she turns out to be the key to dismantling the curse, for she is an anomaly of nature.
