Aru Shah was a princess of Tariwether, and that was it. Neglected by her parents, Aru wondered what it would be like to fully live... Fateful encounters can change your life as it did hers.

Aru Shah in a world with the rules/customs of the Selection Series by Kiera Cass. Includes characters from other series, such as Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger. Aru Shah has turned 16, and the time has come for her selection to begin. STORY ON HIATUS

"If the crown fits, baby, you're going down" Arundhati Shah was a mortal girl in the rule of the immortal Apsaras in the kingdom of Lanka, and you know how that goes. Cruel treatment from the heavenly beings because apparently, their egos were as large as their lives. But if Aru's learned anything, power doesn't have much to do with mortality. As a mortal girl in the rule of immortals, Aru had to find a way to make her life in this world worthwhile. And by worthwhile, she didn't mean getting spat on by the royals. No. She would be royalty in her own way, she would join the shadows as they schemed to overthrow the crown. She hated the royals. She despised them. Is there a thin line between love and hate, though? Well... When she meets Prince Aiden, the last of the Acharya line, things just become complicated when she's expected to kill him and take over the crown. However, she is just taught that in fact... The Cruel Crown obeys nobody. All of the characters (except my ocs) and og plot of tpq credits goes to the queen Roshani Chokshi! The general idea of the plot and the worldbuilding (tho its been changed a lot by me) credits goes to Holly Black! Lastly, this plot and chapters of the fanfiction DOES belong to me, so if you steal it, I steal you.

"𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵..." Aru and Aiden love each other. That's the only thing they're sure of. Sure, there was some miscommunication along the road, but after a while, they figured it out.

Did Aru want to go to the new years party? No. Would she rather be on her couch in her pajamas watching Lord of the Rings while eating way too much Swedish Fish? Who wouldn't? Her father. Her father wouldn't. He wanted her to go there and "socialize" which was code for "you need to find someone to marry because your life's really sad". It was some party for his law firm he started with one of his friends too, not even like a rager which would've been mildly fun. Aiden's father was a crappy one at best. So when Aiden's dad made him the photographer at some stupid new year's party that he was throwing for his law firm, of course he protested. But he couldn't look at his mom so happy about it and still tell her that he didn't wanna do it. So he was still the photographer.
