Anam Farooqi is a beautiful, fragile girl, possessing the grace of a lotus, but hiding a deep, internal brokenness. Her world revolved around simple joys-reading, flowers, and peaceful waterfalls. She gave her heart completely to Vedant Singh Rathore, the younger son of the powerful Rathore family. However, Vedant was merely playing, seeing Anam only as a passing attraction. On their wedding day, his betrayal was compounded when he ran away with Anam's best friend, the fiery Zara Khan.
When scandal threatened to consume the Farooqi family's honor, the fearsome elder brother and true ruler, Vayansh Singh Rathore, stepped in. The "King of Raigarh" is a cold, duty-bound man-handsome, commanding, and intimidating, with hazel-green eyes that stop everyone in their tracks. Vayansh, whose life is ruled by the code that family comes first, held out his hand to the broken bride. He married Anam not out of love, but out of sheer duty to protect the self-respect of both his family and hers. The ice-cold king now finds his destiny linked to the fragile girl his own brother destroyed.
