In the gilded, cold corridors of the Rathore Haveli, Dian Singh Rathore is a king who has never known a home. At thirty-one, the orphaned "Raja Sa" has survived a childhood of sharp whispers and jealous glares from his own blood, finding solace only in the quiet warmth of his Choti Ma and the innocence of his little sister, Kavya. He is a man of shadows-stoic, powerful, and fiercely guarded-who believes that belonging is a luxury he can't afford.
Vritti Rao.
At twenty-two, Vritti is a whirlwind of Mumbai energy and Bangalore soul. She is vibrant, unfiltered, and entirely unimpressed by the heavy titles and ancient protocols that Dian uses as armor. Returning to her family after years in the city, she is looking for her own place in the world-only to collide head-on with the brooding, untouchable heir of the Rathore legacy.
He is ten years her senior, a veteran of a war fought in marble halls. She is the spark that refuses to be dimmed by his silence.
As their worlds intertwine, the friction between his rigid royal traditions and her modern defiance begins to bridge the decade-long gap between them. In a house full of people who want his fall, Vritti becomes the only one who truly sees the man behind the "Raja Sa."
Between the cut-throat politics of Rajasthan and the heart-on-sleeve loyalty of the Raos, two strangers must decide if they are just passing through each other's lives-or if they have finally found Where I Belong.
