Book-1 of ABLAZE- The Queens Saga (can be read as standalone)
A letter he wrote was intercepted.
A reply she never penned sealed her fate.
They said the crown was hers, yet every glance questioned her worth. For years, Queen Kalyani endured the silence - of the court, of the people, of her womb. She stood beside her king with quiet grace, never once letting her heartbreak seep through the cracks in her smile.
Until war took him away... and fate delivered a blow far crueler.
When Yugraaj sent a letter from the battlefield, he poured into it a difficult truth - a second marriage bound by royal duty, not desire. But that letter never reached her hands. And the reply he received, etched with the words "Do what must be done", wasn't hers to give.
It bore her seal.
But not her soul.
Now, as the palace celebrates his return with a new bride by his side, Kalyani sits alone - cloaked in red, carrying his child, and mourning a love neither dead nor alive.
In a world ruled by patriarchy and politics, can love survive the treachery of those closest to them?
Or will aitbaar - trust - be the final sacrifice made at the altar of legacy?
