A king is dead-and the court smells opportunity. Before the funeral fires have cooled, the palace fractures into factions. Ministers whisper behind silk sleeves, nobles weigh bloodlines like coin, and queens turn grief into strategy. Three princes stand at the center of the storm, each backed by power, pride, and dangerous loyalties. But the throne of Avanti does not pass so easily. As ancient laws are invoked and twisted to serve ambition, a sealed decree hangs over the court like an unsheathed blade. No one knows whom it will favor. Everyone prepares to kill for it. Amid the rising tempest stands Ratnaprabha, a princess long overlooked. As the world she knew once begins to devour itself, she understands one truth-watching from the shadows is no longer an option. In Avanti, power is not inherited, It is survived.
