On the lands of Bharatvarsha...where the palaces touch the skies and every corner of it has seen love, war and a thousand secrets, two powerful dynasties are about to collide, not with war...well not again, but this time with a marriage.
The Aryavardhans of Shatrudamana are known for their strength, pride and never backing down from duty. At the centre of it all stands Prince Yashvardhan Singh. He is the perfect heir and the perfect warrior. The kind who'd destroy armies mercilessly.
Far away in the kingdom of Padmagarha in the southern part of Bharatvarsha, ruled by the graceful and fierce Shailendri dynasty, lives Princess Vasundhara Shailendri. She is smart, fearless, and someone who refuses to be caged.
They were young when they fell in love recklessly. They were naive and innocent.
Everything was going beautifully until it all fell apart...their life is now full of misunderstandings, half-truths, betrayal, and silence. He thinks she betrayed him while she thinks he abandoned her.
Now, years later, destiny has staged a reunion as an arranged marriage between their kingdoms. But the thing is that they hate each other now. Or at least they say they do.
Between palace secrets, painful pasts, family pressure, and the heavy weight of duty, Yashvardhan and Vasundhara must face what they once were and maybe, what they still could be.
Can two broken hearts from two proud kingdoms find a way back?
Or will this marriage turn into war?

"I'd rather set myself on fire than fall for your pathetic self ever again, Yuvraj," she whispered, her voice shaking as rain poured down on them.
"Then why are you trembling, Priye?"
His breath trailed against her skin as he leaned in closer and closer near her ear. "Is it the rain...or is it because I'm this close to you? say it!!" he whispered mockingly.
