"Ye shaadi humare liye sirf ek sauda hai aur kuch nahi."
In the golden sands of Jaisalmer, Abhay Pratap Singh is the Reaper-a king who rules with an iron fist. He took a throne through bloodshed and forced a woman into a marriage of revenge, only to exile himself to the shadows of London. Two years later, the Prince of Ice has returned, but he finds Kashi waiting with a sword to his throat and a fire he can no longer control.
But the Sheesh Mahal holds more than one ghost.
Samar Pratap Singh, the younger prince, returns from a decade in exile to a debt of honor he never signed for. Bound by a father's vow to a woman who has every reason to loathe his name, Samar is forced into an engagement with Gauri-his childhood sweetheart turned stranger.
The Storm is fighting to keep his heart from melting; the Sea is trying to bridge a trench of ten years of silence and lies.
Two brothers. Two destinies. One palace of mirrors where every secret is a heartbeat and every kiss is a battlefield.
In the Sheesh Mahal, trust is the most expensive commodity... and the price of love is paid in blood.
A Little Rambling...
"This story is a heartfelt tribute to the legends that shaped my imagination; certain characters and arcs are lovingly inspired by my favorite works. I carry their essence forward in this new journey of my own. If you recognize the ghosts in these mirrors, know that they are here as guests of my heart."
(An Alternate Universe retelling written to explore these characters and their dynamics through a healthier, different lens.)
