Death should have been the end of it. But when Katriana opens her eyes again, she is no longer where she died. And this time, the story does not feel like fiction. ** Cover Art: @matchseiaa Cover Design: via Canva

In all her nineteen years of life, Rajkumari Saudamini had learned one thing with absolute certainty: certainty itself was survival. And why would it not be? Certainty built empires. Certainty stabilized kingdoms. It was the closest companion of a diplomat capable of negotiating alliances that could alter Aryavarta itself, and the greatest ally of the finance minister of Magadh - the unconquered empire ruled by her grandfather, Jarasandha. After the death of her father, certainty became her refuge. First, it was her grandfather. Then it was supposed to be Prince Rukmi of Vidarbha. And when that certainty shattered, she built another. And another. Until she became very good at surviving broken futures. Unfortunately for her, every single time life finally began settling into something safe... he returned. Krishna. The great problem of her life. The dark cowherd who walked into kingdoms smiling and left them transformed beyond recognition. Others called him divine. Beloved. The protector of dharma. Saudamini thought otherwise. To her, Vasudev Krishna was uncertainty incarnate - the question mark carved into her life when she was seven years old. The man who arrived in Mathura and left her father dead. The man whose existence shattered alliances, broke betrothals, unraveled political stability, and turned carefully laid plans into ash. So truly, she wants nothing to do with him. Which becomes rather inconvenient when fate - with all its terrible humor - keeps placing him directly in her path again. And again. And again. But what is one supposed to do when the greatest uncertainty of their life slowly begins feeling like the only certainty left? Especially when she is no ordinary princess. She is Vasumati Saudamini: the lost princess of Mathura, the beloved Rajnandini of Magadh, and perhaps the only person in Aryavarta stubborn enough to look Krishna in the eye and call him a curse.

WOULD YOU STILL TRY TO change it? #1 Mahabharata #3 Mahabharata #5 Mahabharata #1 Yudhistira #1 parashurama #2 Arjuna

Mei Lin wakes up alone on a black-sand shore with her gown in ruins, half her memory gone, and a wrecked ship dying in the surf behind her - certain the man she was meant to marry went down with it. He didn't. Past the shoreline is a city that shouldn't exist - lantern-lit, silent by day, and very much alive after dark. A city where the wine isn't wine, where something ancient and beautiful moves behind every shuttered window, and where no one can decide what she is, because human was never supposed to wash up here. Then she sees him. Alive. Marked by this place in ways she doesn't understand yet, and looking at her like he's not sure if she's real or another thing this city has sent to torment him. Getting him back should be simple. It isn't - not with a princess who wants him for her own, a court that's starting to ask questions Mei Lin can't survive answering, and a hunger, hers and his, that has nothing to do with blood and everything to do with the wreck they survived to find each other again. A dark, slow-burn paranormal romance about the things that outlive a shipwreck - love, memory, and the monster you didn't know you married.
